Michelle's "Reeling" in March Madness & Other Great News...
I had a truly fabulous time at the FYC for "Better Call Saul" Series Finale. Giancarlo Esposito and Bob Odenkirk could not have been lovelier and it was a fun panel discussion about the love for the craft and being seamless on set as a functioning symphony.
Everyone on this show, in front of and behind the camera, are at the top of their game, and I congratulate everyone on a very successful series, thanks for letting us all celebrate with you!

Michelle's "Reeling" in the newness...
I know it's been a cute little minute since I last sent out a newsletter, but I have been working on myself: inside and out, and also on numerous projects at home: personally and professionally. Now 3 years into this pandemic, I realize how much work I have actually done to overhaul my life in all aspects, and I am reflective and grateful for this time to do so. I have recreated my website from scratch, shot over 400 self-tape auditions, cut and edited 4 new reels, and cleaned out every cabinet, closet, drawer, and shelf in my house! Whew! It felt great to purge and donate all of the old, in order to clear space for new things, for the new year!
So today, on this powerful March New Moon, when the Sun and the Moon are perfectly aligned, signifying the start of a new lunar cycle and a new season, I welcome even more newness: new opportunities, new people, and new success in everything the Universe has in store for everyone reading this right now. 
And with all of that being said, let's dive right into it...(READ MORE...NEWSLETTER)

Hangin' with William Shatner
1776 on Broadway in NYC with my bestie Tiffani Barbour!!!!
Great new article in Voyage LA Magazine
I chatted with William Shatner at the Jack Webb Awards Gala for the Los Angeles Police Museum's annual fundraiser. During the welcome speech for the event, which Captain Kirk hosted, introducing all of the honorees, special guest, and celebs in the room, he mentioned my name towards the end and I was in shock that one of the most famous and iconic actors in Hollywood said my name!
So, I went to speak with him during dinner, and he invited me to sit down and we spoke for 15 minutes about life, Leonard Nimoy, Bill's new book, and it was all surreal. I had a wonderful time and was grateful to have met one of my childhood heroes!
Live long and prosper...

Had the time of my life in NYC for 2/22/22
Every year, on NYE, I create a "Goal List" for myself to see what I can accomplish and mark off in the coming months, and I have been doing this for over 20 years. This year, 2 of my 2022 goals were accomplished at the same time! For years, I wanted to be in New York, on 2/22/22, because I knew it was too magical to do something ordinary, and I wanted to be in one of my favorite cities. I also always wanted to celebrate my birthday with Drew Barrymore, simply because I thought it would be fun to celebrate with someone born on the same exact day as me: talk about the ultimate Pisces Power!

NYC with Drew Barrymore for 2/22/22
I had the MOST AH-MAZE-ZING time in New York City for the taping of the 2/22/22 "Drew Barrymore Show!" Drew and I have the same birthday, and she was only inviting people born on 2/22 in for the show!
I was granted a VIP ticket on Saturday 1/29/22, and had to figure out a way to get to NYC for the in-person audience by 2/10, so I quickly created a Go Fund Me Campaign and within 48 hours raised enough money to book a plane ticket and hotel room for 1 week.
It was a wonderful and life changing trip and experience, and I am so grateful to have so many people supporting and encouraging my dreams and passions.
My episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show" airs Tuesday (Two-sday) 2/22/22. Check your local listings for time and channel, thanks for watching!

This is so beyond heartbreaking, I'm shocked and saddened. I just wrapped working on a movie with this incredible, kind, lovely, humbled, talented, sincere, and wonderful human being. To have had the opportunity to work with Michael Kenneth Williams, one of my idols, was overwhelming and validating.
I'm sending condolences and healing love and light to the entire Williams family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. This is a tragic and horrible loss. RIP Michael, you were loved, admired, and respected. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and gifts with the world. #MichaelKennethWilliams

Remembering Leonard Nimoy
Shooting "Above & Beyond" Music Video
"Bar S Hotdogs" Commercial Shoot
I worked with Leonard Nimoy when I first moved out to LA. It was my first print booking, posing as a marble statue for his new Coffee Table Book. Most people don't know he got into acting to make money for his real passion of Photography. He told me he used his famous hand signal in his TV show, which he actually adapted from seeing the Rabbi in his Orthodox Temple in Brooklyn, blessing the congregation with the Hebrew Letter "Shim." He incorporated it into his character when he got older. He interviewed me 3 times, before I booked the job, and went to his house to meet his lovely wife, and was floored when I booked the chance to work with someone I grew up watching!! My father had turned my family into Trekkies, watching every Star Trek episode and movie ever made!!! I am so sad to hear of his passing this morning.
May Mr. Spock always and forever,
"LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!!"
RIP Leonard Nimoy xoxoxo
