This fall, Michael has been blessed with several episodes of LAW AND ORDER: SVU, playing arraignment court Judge Selani. As judges tend to recur on that show, you'll understand when he says that his fingers are crossed for more of the same... The next episode in which he appears is titled "True Believers" and is scheduled to air on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011.

On the Theatre Front, Michael began rehearsals in September for the New York premiere of Bruce Graham's ANY GIVEN MONDAY, currently running until November 6th at 59E59 Theaters. He's received some wonderful notices for his work in Graham's black comedy, in which he plays the role of Micky, a Philadelphia subway worker who takes matters into his own hands when his best friend's wife leaves him for a Philadelphia real estate magnate. Homicide and hilarity ensue. For info, click here.

On Monday, October 24th at 7pm, Michael will be reprising his original role in a one-night-only reading of Warren Leight's Tony winning SIDE MAN. The evening will benefit his theatre company, Naked Angels. This play is one of his career favorites, and he is very honored to be directing the reading as well, with a cast that includes Melissa Leo, Zach Quinto, Frank Wood (reprising his Tony winning turn as Genie Glimmer) and members of the original Broadway company. The SIDE MAN reading will take place at the Vineyard Theatre just off Union Square in NYC. For more info click here.
