Since relocating to Los Angeles over five years ago, where he was awarded an extraordinary ability green card, Michael guest starred and recurred on a number of hit shows including MacGyver (CBS), Shooter (USA), Of Kings & Prophets (ABC), Criminal Minds (CBS), Blood Drive (SyFy), Deep State (Fox/Epix) and CBS´ Scorpion opposite Robert Patrick.
