His résumé doesn't stop there — he's also appeared in The Town, Boston Strangler, Free Guy, Honest Thief, I Care a Lot, Madame Web, and HBO's Julia, where he played Benny across seven episodes.Most recently, Michael has been working on Widow's Bay — a new series that's bringing together a whole roster of familiar New England faces.
