News Mike will shoot the
cliffhanging Christmas Eve episode of "PASSIONS", delivering the long awaited DNA
information that determines if Gwen and Ethan Winthrop or Theresa
Lopez-Fitzgerald are the rightful parents of the struggling newborn.
MIKE'S ROLE EXPANDED:
Mike booked the Hallmark MOW "McBride: The Chameleon Murder" directed
by Kevin Connor and working
with John Larroquette to shoot in October. As forensics specialist Francis
Phillips, Mike gets pressured by Jim
McBride (John Larroquette) to analyze (and later testify about) critical
forensic evidence to the guilt or innocence of the primary suspect
in The Chameleon Murder.
Mike shot the role of John, a reporter, working with both Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner on Rob Reiner's Warner Bros feature "RUMOR HAS IT" (2005).
Mike taped for producers on CSI, went to Universal Studios for producers on ABC's new series Desperate Housewives, went to producers on Wingman Productions Chasing Ghosts and was at Fox reading for director Heather Juergensen (Kissing Jessica Stein) for a lead role in the next Searchlab production.
Mike has gone to producers for a potentially recurring on Lifetime Television's "Strong Medicine" and has been called back by both Lexus and NetZero on multi-spot national commercials.
Mike was taped for
director Brian De Palma ("Carrie", "Scarface", "Mission
Impossible") for THE BLACK DAHLIA which will star Josh Hartnett, Mark
Wahlberg and Scarlett Johansson.
Mike is finishing
pickups on Justin
Sullivan's sci-fi film "CHIMPIMP", completing the role of a futuristic
government agent (ala Agent Smith in The Matrix) who leads a team responsible
for enforcing this futuristic world's mandatory DNA donation program
(completing pickups April 25th).
Mike was taped for director
Peter Horton (Gary Shepherd from thirtysomething) and producer/writer Shonda
Rhimes for a role that would work as a medical resident for a yet to be titled ABC/Touchstone pilot about a
group of surgical interns beginning their first-ever 48-hour shift.
Mike was taped for
director Doug Liman ("The Bourne Supremacy", "Go",
"Swingers") for the role of an investment banker which would work with
Brad Pitt in the New Regency feature MR. AND MRS. SMITH.
Mike starts the role of Dr. Derik Carew with Matt Keeslar (Dr. Jekyll), Jonathan Silverman (Dr. Richard Lanyon) and John Rubinstein (Daniel Carew) in Creative Light Entertainment's 2004 feature JEKYLL, a modern day retelling of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic (see first images).
Mike is set to play the
title role in Blue Bear Pictures/Two Point Productions "A
CURE FOR WRITER'S BLOCK", as a successful screenwriter faced with the
question, "If you lose the one thing you are good at, how far would you go
to get it back?" This 35mm thriller is in rehearsals through October
with principal photography to begin in November and is planned for the festival
circuit.
Mike has booked the
role of Attorney George Banderas to work with Jaclyn Smith (Vanessa Cavanaugh)
and Roger Aaron Brown (Joe Noland) on THE DISTRICT. Mike is set to play the role of Charlie Bain, an operative on a highly skilled rescue team specializing in the recovery of foreign kidnap victims. Set in Bogotá, Colombia, DARKNESS MINUS TWELVE (see first images) details the desperate attempts to recover just one of the many nameless kidnappings that occur in that country every day. Charlie Bain (Mike) is tasked with the desperate attempt to deliver the ransom within an unreasonable amount of time. This tense thread winds throughout the film as Charlie frantically tries to battle his way through the traffic of Bogotá, police checkpoints and the Colombian military. Film tests and rehearsals begin in early September with principal photography beginning on the 20th in Los Angeles.
Mike has completed the lead role in "Breakdown" (First Images), a gritty prison story (shot on location at the Lincoln Heights Jail in Los Angeles) about a father (Mike) wrongly incarcerated, and follows his torment in prison life and in the loss of his daughter. Mike has also completed "The Farewell". Shot on the back lot (and rooftops) of Universal Studios, "The Farewell" set Mike as a questionable agent in pursuit of (and in a love triangle with) the carrier of a stolen and highly valuable antiquity. Betrayal and justice - good and bad reverse throughout the film as villains turn out to be heroes and vice versa. |
