At seventeen Michael packed up his belongings and traveled to Los Angeles, eager to pursue an acting career. Even though he chose not to pursue his high school diploma, he had the unwavering support of his parents, who even drove him all the way to California. Thinking back on that time, Michael chuckles, remembering his father telling him, “You might as well go to the forest if you want to be a lumberjack.” With a sense of humor and confidence in his son’s goals, his father said this.

However, achieving success in Hollywood was no little task. Michael came from a working-class family with limited resources and few friends. He was homeless, destitute, and even had to go trash diving to get food when he was eighteen. But his resolve never faltered.

She warned him that trying to balance the movie with “Family Ties” would wear him out.

Love and Family

While working on “Family Ties,” Michael came to know Tracy Pollan, the actress who played his love interest.

From their 1988 marriage, they have four children together.
