Michael has built a remarkable career spanning decades across film, television, theatre, radio and voice — the kind of actor who doesn't just work, but leaves a mark on everything he touches.
It all began in the most unexpected of places: performing alongside elephants in a Swedish circus. From there, Michael made his way to New York, where he trained under the legendary Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio, found his theatrical home at the iconic La MaMa, and racked up credits on Kojak and Sesame Street. Further training followed at LAMDA in London, cementing a craft built on some of the finest stages and studios in the world.
His screen credits speak for themselves. Feature films include Highlander, Return of the Jedi, and Santa Claus the Movie. On television, he has delivered memorable performances in the BBC's Judge John Deed and Waking the Dead, and spent a full series with ITV's Crossroads — alongside a rich body of BBC radio drama.
In the voice world, Michael is particularly sought after for his documentary narrations — a warm, authoritative presence heard across National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Discovery, Animal Planet and the Animal X series. He brings equal skill to audio books (fiction and technical alike), animation, and character work — including some memorable villains in Power Rangers.
His commercial voice work spans major European brands: Google, Mercedes, British Aerospace, Save The Children, Weight Watchers, The Economist, BP, Volvo, Shell, RSPCA, Welsh Beef, Pendennis Castle and the Wales Tourist Board, among others.
Michael records from his own professional studio in Nelson — with a view that has to be seen to be believed.
