Michael who has nearly 40 films in his career, got his start with the infamous Troma Films, appearing in TOXIC AVENGER II & III. Then onto TEENAGE MUTANT TURTLES...but it wasn't long before producers recognized his incredible screen appeal casting the hunky martial arts pro in RING OF FIRE, PROTOTYPE, UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, FULL CONTACT, ON DEADLY GROUND and FIST OF JUSTICE. Next came the cult classic 2 DAYS IN THE VALLEY (which also featured the first screen credited role of Charlize Theron).

It was his role as Al Simmons in the double crossed assassin who is killed by his boss and later through a deal with the Devil comes back as SPAWN to reap havoc and revenge...it is that role that provided Michael with the vehicle to garner glowing critical reviews as well as the adoration of young film fans around the world. Since then Michael has appeared in a string of successful films including Tyler Perry’s hit, WHY DID I GET MARRIED...and most notably BLACK DYNAMITE which he conceived, co-wrote and stars.
