The new musical includes belly dancing and football, which Michael says, "is what happens when you let a straight guy write a musical."

He was featured in the Anita Baker video, “NO ONE IN THE WORLD”, directed by Spike Lee. More recently, he appeared with Michael Imperioli in a commercial for The National Beer Council, also directed by Spike Lee.
