On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with actor, Michael Beach. We chat about Michael’s journey from Boston, to being a working actor for the past few decades. We discuss the turning point in his life that led him from an aspiring football career to the prestigious halls of Juilliard. We touch on his varied roles on shows such as “The Rookie,” “The Mayor of Kingstown,” and “Tulsa King.”
Michael touches on his family’s influence, as well as his Cape Verdean heritage. We also discuss his mother's influential role as an educator. His influences and experiences help to paint a great picture of one of the most recognizable actors in television.
Michael also offers an insider's perspective on the art of auditions, recalling his own for “The Rookie,” and we reflect on how the industry has shifted since the days of “ER.” We touch on his passion for fitness and the Zen of pizza. It’s a pleasure to bring you Michael’s story and the journey that brought Michael from Roxbury to your television.
