Pictures

Michael during A Christmas Carol. He looks like a floating head here, hehe.

My Thoughts

I find it very humorous that Mike has played such roles in Shakespeare as Dull and Blunt and has been both murderers and friars. He does play a wonderful father figure...he has that lovable, paternal quality to him. Most of the acting I have seen Mike do has been part of an ensemble-smaller parts but none the less important. There is no beating his portrayal of Mr. Fezziwig in A Christmas Carol, a show he has been a part of for 12 seasons. I wish I could have seen him as Teddy in Arsenic and Old Lace, I am sure he must have had so much fun in that role. Mike is a very warm, very plesant person, a joy to have as a friend.
