Michael is an extremely talented 28 year old actor, relocated to Los Angeles from his hometown of Akron Ohio. Michael is well trained and educated. He attended a reputable drama school and even got a real NY/Hollywood showcase after graduation. He knows that if he wants to build a career in film and television, LA is the place to be. He is shocked at the tremendous difference in the cost of housing and living expenses in Los Angeles, but is committed to his craft and his dream of becoming g a working actor.

Let’s get into it.
