[edit] Photographer with a heart of gold.

Good hearted and good natured Michael worked as a photographer at the House of Gianni, a fashion house located in Los Angeles. His best friend and confidante was Luke Gianni, the son of his boss, Maria Gianni.

He had a crush on model Nikki Clark, but knows that she is in love with William Chandler, who was the father of her fetus. He's also been used as a pawn by Nikki's arch-enemy, Tania Ford.

Michael and Luke had tried, but unfortunately failed, to get Tania needed help for her addictions. They haven't given up hope for her, though.

For all his success as a photographer, Michael had hope that he could get Nikki away from William.

He strenuously objected to Luke's plan to move to New York, and he still hoped that he and Michelle could get things together once again. He has shot photos of the new "Face of Gianni", Maria Gianni, herself.

However, Maria had decided to mix business with pleasure by seducing him. And Luke, unfortunately for him, walked in on Michael and Maria in flagrante delicto. He also discovered that he, and not William, was the father of Nikki's child all along; and that Nikki had been pushed down her own steps in her apartment by Maria; basically killing the fetus. This solidified Maria as his enemy.

After Maria's death, a home invasion led by mobster Eddie Zarouvian led up to a gun fight which had Michael and Nikki injured. Luke spotted them both near death on the floor. Michael underwent surgery and pulled through. Nikki was injured by the door flying open. Both recovered although Michael was in a wheelchair, and they returned to their normal lives.
