About Michael

I'm a multi-disciplinary actor and creative based in Birdham in the South West of England. Able to perform a wide range of accents and archetypes. My flexible voice, intuitive & nuanced choices, and love for play gives me the freedom to eagerly dive into the worlds of every project that crosses my path.

I cut their teeth in community theatre and thrived in the world of improv with Auckland's only dedicated improv theatre, The Covert Theatre. Where I was a member of many troupes, most notably The Fother Muckers. My most recent notable roles include in Seance of Blake Manor, False Hero, and Ventreville: A Cure for Sorrow.

My training reflects my joy for authentic, nuanced, and quick character creation. Leaning on five years of dedicated improv training with The Covert Theatre, a year of screen acting training in the Michael Chekhov technique with Elena Stejko, and 6 years of intensive and dedicated voice over training under Robin Armstrong.

    My project has a standout cast- and Michael was absolutely one of its stars.

    He went above and beyond, adjusting his performance, accent, and mannerisms as needed. He nailed most of his lines in a single take, allowing us to be focus on some of the trickier sections- which still, were no problem for him.

    I had a lovely experience and can't recommend him enough.
