Michael is a Los Angeles based actor and teacher originally from Fridley, Minnesota. He graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College where he majored in Religious Studies (and almost went to Seminary) and minored in Theater.

Impactful life events include studying a semester in India, being an Actor-Educator with CLIMB Theatre, founding the improv/storytelling/artivism community Rogue, producing/directing/performing in a 5-city tour with the sketch comedy troupe Laughtivism LA, snorkeling, expressing himself through poetry, being a storytelling coach for the formerly homeless, managing a sports card shop, reconnecting in-person with his Minnesota family and friends at least twice a year, coaching in the Comedy Sportz High School League, visiting Thailand, hosting 50+ episodes of the web series Fridley Fridays, performing duo improv, and going on a U.S. tour with the play Insidious: The Further You Fear.

Additionally, Sielaff is passionate about teaching, performing, and creating more spaces for socially conscious art, character-building improv, and first-person storytelling. He also discovered that commas are a great way to make a bio only five sentences long.
