Om Nomnom Feb 15 2019 11:16 pm Oddly enough I heard and seen this guy rap in the bonus footage of DJ Max live concert in the rhythm game called DJ Max Portable 2 or Black Square (don't remember which one) back whenever DJ MAX Portable Emotional Sense Black Square came out for the PSP. He had a part in the concert and ended his portion with the song "Syriana" by Bexter. I was taken aback to how well he communicated with the crowd in English (US) and Korean.

He was also recruited along side JC, Tsukasa, M2U, PlanetBoom, Paul Bazooka, NieN, Electronic Boutique, MYULEE, Lucy, So Fly, etc (majority of DJ Max music producers and vocalist)in the rhythm game SuperBeat Xonic as a rapper

Pat Oct 07 2016 7:20 pm I'm finally watching assorted gems and loving it. Love the Kyle character I would definitely like to see more of him. I see he hasn't done anything for several years what a bummer I Hope he is not teaching English somewhere He should act I hated the buzz cut I would like to see him with some long pretty blonde hair But I understand that was his role I get it He seems like a lot of fun

Brigitte Mar 07 2015 6:38 am This guy can act and speaks korean very well ,really admire of him！fighting！and gud luck always！

Kpopcurl Aug 12 2013 6:55 pm I cant believe people are hating on this guy, why dont you try acting in his place and see if you can do a better job. He's ugly? how narrow minded... I love this guy, he's awesome, loved him in assorted gems, what happened to him though, He needs to be in more movies!! Fighting <3

raiderjose Jan 28 2012 7:52 pm I really enjoyed your performance as Kyle you were funny. JJ growe up. It was good to see a non Korean in a Korean show. Don't be afraid.

Emile Dec 23 2011 9:53 am He did fine. And I'm pretty sure they offered him this role, not that he was begging for one to earn money. At least pay some respect. Why "perfect Korean" was so important?? And I bet we all hardly ever see a white man with such excellent Korean as his. If you want to blame someone for putting a white man in the series, blame that Korean director who wanted something new in his film. That JJ girl down there is terribly shallow.

ToyVan Aug 24 2011 11:22 am Yo Blunck! This is van der Beek! Hit me up bro :)

LB Aug 16 2011 8:02 am Wow... I can feel the love. Michael does a passable job as an actor, although (and it's probably more the fault of the writers or directors) I am certainly hopeful that his portrayals are not how the majority of Koreans stereotype Americans. I am however, blown away by his abilities with the Korean language. I have been trying to learn it on and off for more than 25 years and could not even hold a candle to his skills. Why? Because as an American white guy, I love Korea. For the most part I think her people are among the warmest, most down to earth, and most caring folks on the planet. Not to mention the natural beauty found there.

And then you run across people like this JJ person below... sigh.

Maudl Aug 04 2011 5:11 am I'm always amazed at people who post these lengthy, vile rants against some actor or singer after only seeing them on TV or reading something about them in the press. Are they really so limited that they can't realize how insignificant whatever small fault they find with them is compared to the awful things that are happening in this world (turn on the news if you don't know what I mean)? Don't they see how their behavior - working up all that hate and cowardly defaming someone who has done them no harm, and for all they know nobody else either - is infinitely uglier than what they are criticizing? JJ's comment is offensive on so many levels that I really think it should be removed.

haewolly Jul 29 2011 9:53 pm What is with the hating on this website? I'm Korean and I'm just glad that there are other people from different cultures who have an interest in Korean culture and language. I was so impressed with this guy's Korean language skills because like some of you mentioned, Korean is not an easy language to learn. So why with the negativity? He's a white guy living in Korea who speaks better Korean than some Korean-Americans who never bothered to learn the language in the first place. No one has ever said that only Koreans can speak Korean. YOU should get over YOURSELVES and get a life, not vilify someone for being "cocky" for being able to speak the language. And the pedophile comment? Dude, seriously? Can you tell someone's a pedophile just by looking? That has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life. Seriously. Whoever you are, you should go and read some books and get smarter or something. I mean that in a nice way. I'm wary of white men who seem to have yellow fever, too, but how can you just accuse someone of being a criminal when all you've seen them do is go on TV and speak Korean? Get a life.

anonymous Jul 27 2011 4:19 am His Korean is okay, but not perfect as everyone claims. I can tell the difference; however, adding Westerners in any Korean drama is funny because their acting is terrible, they sound funny when they speak in their native English and Korean. I think I was offended most in Playful Kiss when they cast this white girl as mix Korean-White when she wasn't even Korean-White to begin with. ::roll eyes:: Everyone kept saying her Korean is good, but it wasn't near perfect.

D Jul 08 2011 9:51 pm I was taken aback by your performance in 신기생년 as Kyle. I've never seen an American speak Korean with such fluency. Did you take Korean classes at perhaps Yonsei or other 어학당 in Korea? Or maybe you took some college level Korean classes? I'm just amazed at your ability to speak Korean so well. ^__^ 대단합니다, 마이클씨! Keep up the good work and hope to see more of your performance in other dramas in the future!

sharon Jun 12 2011 3:34 am I think its weird that you speak korean. You are an American, acting in a korean movie...okkkaayyy....

Mary Mar 06 2010 11:40 pm Where did Michael learn to speak such perfect Korean? How long has he been studying the language?

your dad Feb 22 2010 12:30 pm you speaking korean like native son. maybe sometime good actor. have always liked your performances!

erica Dec 22 2009 2:09 pm you can speak korean perfectly. I never saw a white man speaking korean perfectly.
