Michael Merton. Or as he’s more commonly known: kickass actor/acting coach/recent-new-friend-of-mine-on-Facebook.Chances are, if you own a TV, you’ve seen Michael, guest-starring in countless top TV shows (And if you don’t own a TV, de-friend me on Facebook tout suite.)
Last week, as Michael and I attended a casting-director workshop, an actress suffering from a nasty cold got up to a do a scene. I told her she should have done it from home on speakerphone, then leaned over to Michael and told him that if that luxury were possible, I’d have him call in and nail my scene for me. “Nah," he said. "The casting director would hear my baldness.”
Genius. Hire him.
