Michael recalls: “My first role was Vietnam Commissioner Thuy. “I am extremely excited to be a part of that entertainment group. The fact that it was my first job out of college is something I don’t take for granted. It was like a trial by fire – sent straight to the big leagues without too much preparation.”
