  Mike made his transition to movies with a bang by landing a role in the highly acclaimed Steven Soderbergh drama Traffic , starring Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. He also had a scene-stealing supporting role in the independent feature The Godfather of Green Bay, starring Lauren Holly, and played a lead in Inside Out , a short film directed by L. Zane.

When not plying his showbiz trade, Mike enjoys foreign travel, good food, good wine, and playing just about every sport. A Chicago native now based in Los Angeles, Mike continues to support all his Chicago teams - no matter how painful that may be at times.
