Congratulations, Mike!
A last minute print audition for Goody's clothing stores (East coast) has paid off big for Mike when he booked the job!
The photo shoot will be for their online catalog as well as their in-store displays. Despite the traditional slowdown
in Hollywood for the holiday season, Mike still keeps landing jobs!
Way to go, Mike!

WOWZER!!! HE DID IT AGAIN!
We just found out Mike booked a series recurring role in the upcoming HBO television pilot, "12 Miles of Bad Road"!!!
This is a major new comedy series about a very wealthy Dallas, Texas real estate family headed up by Amelia Shakespeare (played
by the incomparable Lily Tomlin). The pilot is written and produced by Linda Bloodworth- Thomason and will be directed by
Michael Engler. Sean Bridgers and Kim Dickens of "Deadwood" fame will also star.
Michael will play the role of Cameron Shakespeare, grandson of Lily Tomlin's character and heir to the Shakespeare real
estate fortune! Way to go, Mike!
That was great news on this, his final day of filming on the Untitled Alan Ball project feature film where Mr. Ball was
kind enough to tell Mike he "DELIVERED!" We will keep you all posted when this film finally gets a title and when
it is expected to hit theaters.
If that were not enough good news, we also found out Mike got a callback for an upcoming Saturn commercial. He goes into
the callback tomorrow afternoon! Break a leg, Mike!
Mike's manager, Myrna Lieberman, was kind enough to tell us she thinks Mike has finally gotten his break and is on his
way... We think so, too!
And thanks to all of you out there who have continued to support Mike in the pursuit of his dream!
Stay tuned!

F I N A L L Y !!!
Congratulations to Mike!!!
He has booked one of the supporting roles in a new, highly anticipated feature film by Academy Award-winning writer, Alan
Ball !!! For those of you with short memories, Mr. Ball won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the movie, American
Beauty, which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 1999. In addition, Mr. Ball is also the creator of the highly acclaimed television
series, Six Feet Under.
The new feature film is yet untitled but will star Aaron Eckhart, Toni Collette and Maria Bello in a story about a young
girl who struggles with issues of identity and sexuality as the daughter of a Lebanese- American father and an American mother
in Texas during the Gulf War. It is about the clash of the East vs. the West in modern day America.
Mike is scheduled to go into filming at the beginning of October in Los Angeles. There is no release date yet established
for the film although it is expected to hit theaters in 2007. Stay tuned! We will update you with news as it happens!
Again, congratulations Michael!
You are now on your way!

Way to go Mike!!!
Once again, Mike has landed another national commercial. This time it's for Charter Communications for their combined
cable, telephone and internet services. Mike goes to wardrobe tomorrow (Monday, August 7th) and the shoot is scheduled for
Wednesday. Before Mike went in for this audition, he said he was feeling really comfortable with himself in auditions. He
no longer felt as if he were competing with other kids for his roles. Instead, he felt very much at ease and relaxed. Believe
me, it showed!
Last week, after several slow weeks, Mike had an exceptionally hectic schedule as he had SEVEN auditions in just 3 days.
When it is that busy, I honestly do not know how he keeps from confusing the sides for each audition.
This upcoming week, he already has one callback as well as another film audition scheduled in addition to shooting the
commercial. So much for a summer break, huh?
Anyway, congratulations, Mike! Break a leg this week!

Congratulations, Mike!
Mike has been selected for the leading role of Drew (a series regular) in the Cynergy Films' television pilot production
of "Buzz" which will also star Sharon Lawrence of NYPD Blue fame (see link below for Sharon's website). Sharon will
co-produce the pilot with award-winning director, Bruce Hickey, who will also direct the series pilot.
"Buzz" will be a hip new series that will be set at a fictional university located in Los Angeles that also
contains a laboratory high school. Buzz is the university online newspaper which employs both college and high school students
as they intermingle in pursuing stories for the paper all while helping one another through the myriad problems with life
and relationships faced by each of the characters.
The proposed series will also contain a web component which will allow fans of the series to interact with the characters.
It is an exciting new concept being pioneered by Bruce Hickey that incorporates many of today's modern technologies into the
portrayal of both the humorous and dramatic lessons of teenage life. Filming has already started.
We look forward to seeing the series pilot and wish Bruce the best of luck in selling this to one of the networks!
