Michael, a true Angeleno, first donned the iconic role of Danny Zuko in his elementary school production of the timeless classic "Grease" when he was just in the 5th grade. This early exposure to the world of theatre would lay the groundwork for his future endeavors.
As he entered his teenage years, Michael landed the part of Winston in the popular television series "Sweet Valley High," based on the beloved novels by Francine Pascal. When the show came to a close, he decided to further his education by pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre from the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles's School of Theatre, Film and Television.
Upon graduating, Michael went on to establish himself as a consistent presence in the film, television, and Los Angeles theatre scenes. In addition to his work as an actor, Michael also ventured into the realm of production, co-founding Burton Street Productions with his wife, Melissa Lugo.
Together, they have produced a wide range of award-winning short films and web series under the Burton Street Productions banner, showcasing their talent and dedication to the craft.
