In 2003, at the age of 15, Michael had his first voice acting role as a fictionalized version of then-US Senator Joe Biden on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which has become a long-running recurring character in the show.

In video games, he has voiced Spock in Star Trek: Resurgence,[3] Phineas Welles in The Outer Worlds,[4] Jason Hudson in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War,[5] and the dual role of the Sentinel King and the Dark Lord in Doom Eternal.[6]

While with the Groundlings, Michael performed in the comedy show Desperately Seeking Sunday.[1]
