One of his next acting projects is a role in Umbrelic Entertainment's upcoming feature film The Possession at Galdstone Manor.
Michael will play Shane, Max’s best friend and Claire’s husband. He is intelligent and curious. He tends to give people more than a few second chances. He does his best to support them in their efforts and will frequently drop what he needs to help others. Shane has been there with Max through thick and thin, a polar opposite to Claire’s energy in this regard. He is a bit of a pushover when it comes to Claire.
