Michael Pearson

Michael holds university degrees in both of his chosen career paths - performance and education. As such, when not standing in front of a camera or upon a live stage, he can likely be found educating and coaching the next generation of performers. He has extensive experience performing on stage, having appeared in critically acclaimed productions such as Broken Soil's Places (winner of 2015 Hamilton Fringe Audience Choice Award), and Cross Culture Productions' Nocturne (winner of 2014 Hamilton Fringe Critic's Choice Award). Michael has only recently taken the plunge into screen acting, but has been lucky enough to have already appeared in multiple professional short films and commercials. However, Message on a Fortune Cookie was one of Michael's first film performances; as such, the film can thus be accredited to opening the gate to his interest and pursuit of film acting. Michael's memories of this production are those of good vibes, good food, and good people.
