Biography

At 15 years old, he typed a letter to Steven Spielberg asking him if he could be his apprentice. He had it hand delivered to him personally by Steven's secretary. Four days later, he received a hand written letter back telling him, "Don't waste your time apprenticing. You can only learn from doing, not watching. This is what I learned. Good luck + go for it!"

At the age of 13, he was originally cast as "Henry Evans" in the film Le bon fils (1993). The film later was put on hold in the middle of script rehearsals due to lack of funding. Five years went by and Michael was too old to play the role and Macaulay Culkin was cast in his place.

Graduated from the Guildford School of Acting in England.

As a teenager, he used to baby-sit for Rod Stewart, baby-sitting Sean Stewart and Kimberly Stewart.
