Michael Cannell-Griffiths

Born in Wolverhampton, Michael grew up with a love of Sport and of performing. He attended St Bartholomew's C of E Primary School, based in Penn, where he took part in many of the school plays. Michael moved to Highfields Secondary School, where he again took part in many school performances, in Drama and with the School Choir. Throughout Secondary, Michael continued to combine his love of Sport, playing rugby and partaking in gymnastics and trampolining whilst studying PE, with his love of performing, in Drama and in the local theatre group, Wolverhampton Youth Music Theatre. Studying Performance Studies at A Level, Michael then moved south to Twickenham, studying Drama and Theatre Arts at St Mary's University College, continuing to play rugby all the while. Upon graduation, Michael successfully auditioned for his first major role, Biff Russell in 'GingerClown 3D', directed by Balazs Hatveni, in Budapest, Hungary. Following this production, Michael has begun studying MSc Sports Rehabilitation at St Mary's University College, still residing in the Twickenham area, playing rugby at London Irish Amateurs RFC in National 3 London/South East, as well as for St Mary's University College Rugby Union.
