Michael Beardsley

Michael Beardsley is originally from Santa Cruz, California. It was there that he attended San Lorenzo Valley High School, and then went on to achieve a Bachelor of Arts degree from UC Santa Cruz. Up until his first year of college, Michael didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. Aside from a sixth grade production of Hamlet (in which he played Horatio) and some very amateur videos in high school, Michael had never ventured into the world of acting. Somewhere deep inside Michael's shy persona lurked a performer that wanted to stand out. While attending UCSC, Michael discovered that acting was his true passion in life, and was something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. The first introductory acting class he took was taken as an experiment more than anything, but after he took one class, he was hooked. In the four years that followed, he appeared in several of the school's productions, while also working behind the scenes as prop master for many of UCSC's most elaborate shows. It was also during his college years that he was captured on film for the first time when he was cast in two student films. By the time he graduated, he knew what he wanted to do, and about four months after graduation, he moved to Los Angeles. Since Michael has been in Los Angeles, Michael has appeared in countless projects, and played a vast variety or roles.
