Couldn't believe that there wasn't a thread on this already since I first saw the talented performer at one of Broadwayworld's early events.

Anyone donate yet? Wish he had some more interesting rewards.

I donated. I've always felt that he's the most talented of the young male performers to come up this past decade. Here's hoping he reaches his goal.
Not sure if anyone's noticed, but there's a long, nasty thread about this over on ATC. But what else would you expect from them?

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 8/2/11 at 9:13pmI just watched him opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in Source Code, now on DVD and Blu-Ray, so at least he's doing something out in LA.

Posted: 8/22/11 at 1:36pmMichael is still a long ways off his goal, so I thought I'd bump this thread in an effort to get him a bit closer.

He just got a recurring role on "The Good Wife" as the boyfriend for Alicia's brother.
