Michael's acting career started in 1993 when he was cast as "Juh" in TNT's "Geronimo", which led to numerous television appearances, including guest spots in "Promised Land", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Dr Quinn Medicine Woman", "Magnificent Seven", "Millennium", and he co-hosted the 1999 Aboriginal Achievement Awards.

He featured in the mini-series "Rough Riders", "Big Bear', and "True Woman". Films in which Michael has appeared are : "Dance Me Outside",. "Smoke Signals", "The Minion" (also released as "Fallen Knight'), "Firestorm', "League of Old Men', and more recently, 'Skipped Parts", "Looking for Lost Bird", and 'Race Against Time". He worked on a film with Linda Fiorentino and Ben Kingsley "Till the End of Time", which has been put on hiatus.
His play 'Nunatsuaq'- (a science-fiction journey aboard the interplanetary spaceship 'Elena' which takes the characters deep into Inuit mythology in a voyage of self-discovery) is currently still in development. However, public readings of this project took place in January, 2001 at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, in Toronto. In February 2001 he featured in an episode of the WB Network's "Charmed" and in March was interviewed by Evan Adams on APTN's "Buffalo Track's". In March 2001 he was in the UK filming a pilot for a new CBS series, "Sam's Circus".
