Michael's role, which was initially just for one episode, was quickly expanded and he became a series regular in the series' final season (2013) opposite Shailene Woodley. After the show's conclusion, Michael landed the role of Connor, opposite Lucy Hale, in ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars. This fall he can be seen on the FOX comedy series Brooklyn Nine Nine opposite Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher as Trevor, the vandal son of the deputy police commissioner.

In addition, MIchael just returned from shooting the indie dramatic feature, Zoe Gone, from acclaimed director Conor Allyn, due for release in 2014. He will be seen as Randy Chambers, a young teen who gets on the wrong side of the law. A gifted concert pianist who won The Tennessee State Piano Competition at age 6, Michael went on to win first place in the solo and concerto divisions in 2006. He is still a Tennessean at heart and remains a huge fan of the Tennessee Titans but in deference to his new California home is fully committed to becoming an accomplished skateboarder.
