Hi! I've been posting to the other club (under
the name Orias) till I suddenly figured out there
were TWO michael chats and this one was far more
active! So from now onwards I will come here! I've been a
fan of Michael since '84 and first met him at a US
con in '89. Since then I've met up with him many,
many times when he's done plays in the UK; sometimes
me and my friends have gone for drinks and/or dinner
with him. He's a terribly nice, ordinary guy. I
haven't seen him for a while though: he dropped out of a
play called DANGEROUS TO KNOW to film a series in
Canada called THE SCRET ADVENTURES OF JULES VERNE. he
was out there for a year, but unfortunately there's
been no word of this show airing in either the UK or
the US, and he seems to be just taking it easy and
spending time with his kids right now. i hope he gets back
on stage or something soon; this guy's too talented
to sit on the backseat too long! A movie called
DARKNESS FALLS in which he played a cameo as a terrorist
(one line!) has recently appeared here in the uk but I
don't know if it will go to the US or not.<br>Janet
