Michael was honored by being mentioned in a press release on the actors website IMDB. He was awarded top honors alongside some of the biggest Male Actor / Action stars. The list included Dwayne Johnson, Tom Hardy and Matthew McConaughey. Michael made the number ten spot as an actor who has the potential of following in the same footsteps as the movie stars listed above. Blockbuster Names (IMBD List; Top Ten Action Stars of Today and Tomorrow).

Brooklyn born, and raised in a very strong Italian home, he is very proud of where he comes from. Show business is in Michael’s family as his mother was picked to be the under study to famous child stars Shirley Temple.

Michael says, “The Maile School was the first school outside of the performing arts in college where I found a great support system that allowed me to build the confidence I needed to face my fears in film. Maile School is a great place to build a positive foundation and without that strong foundation, everything else you learn comes crumbling down, I was lucky to find such a positive atmosphere with great instructors”.

The Maile School wishes Michael continued success in his already thriving acting career.
