Born in a small logging town in Northern California called Quincy, Michael Patrick Furry moved to the bay area, then to Portland, OR after attending Chico State. It was in the Bay area, Oakland actually that Michael began his comedy and acting career. Known for his work opening up for punk bands in the east bay and San Francisco as "Mort the Bunny" in a white bunny costume with an "I heart Satan" t-shirt.
Michael later moved on to a more traditional stand-up set and toured extensively.
His acting, though mostly in stage productions, has been well reviewed and his upcoming feature film work is shaping up to be impressive as well.
