Gregory Michael

Growing up in Pennsylvania he discovered early in life his love of performing. He explored this through school activities. Then, in his early teens Gregory became very active in community theater, landing him leading roles in various musicals and plays; some of which were performed at the famous Walnut Street Theatre.Attended college at Pennsylvania State University, furthering his studies in acting, theater, and the arts, Gregory then felt compelled to move to New York City.His first audition in NYC was for the Walt Disney Company and he signed on to work at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, as a character performer. Daily shows lead to televised Christmas and holiday parades which then became Gregory's first appearances on TV.A year after taking the job at Disney, he was recruited to work for Universal Studios. Singing, dancing, and comedic improv were still his routine but now at a different venue. For better success, he realized he would have to leave Orlando so he returned to New York City.Shortly after he moved to the city, he had his first big role on one of the oldest shows on television, the CBS soap opera "As The World Turns" where he worked for more than 7 months.Classes at the "Barrow Group" taught him even more about acting, but always looking to better his career and move up and on, Gregory felt that the only place he could be, and that would be more beneficial to his career, was Los Angeles where he is based (as of June 07).He landed a pilot shortly after moving to LA and the show got picked up and went into development right away - "Dante's Cove". Viewing the part as a challenge he began more training and "The Actors Studio" became home for the development of his new character, and also provided an arena to sharpen his skills and talents.
