it's getting better all the time (it can't get no worse)

About Me

Well, most of ya out there know me already...I think. My friends call me "little Mikey" or Paul McMichael. Well, for the most part I'm just like everybody else that lives in LA...I'm one of those actor/musicians that ya keep on hearing so much about. I've been in movies, TV, etc, played in a few bands here and there...including a few Beatle tribs,as well as my own called The Apple Scruffs (formerly The WannaBeatles). Yeah, I'm one of those McCartney look-a-likes you've been hearing so much about these days. I'm currently playing with an original band called The Give...they're a great bunch of lads...very eclectic music, too. check out the Give at http://www.myspace.com/thegiveband and for the Apple Scruffs at http://www.myspace.com/applescruffsbeatletribute or for the hell of it, take a look at one of my friend's site for the Broadway show, Beatlemania.. http://www.beatlemaniaalumni.com
see ya next time!!!

My Interests

anything Beatle related, collecting vintage guitars, Star Wars, Star Trek, playing nerdy video games on X-Box Live (I'm WannaBeatle1, if anyone cares to find me playing) anything Watergate related (Woodward & Bernstein; Deep Throat, etc.)er, I also happen to find vodka gimlets to be pretty interesting ;)

I'd like to meet:

Well, since I already met Sir Paul McCartney once (and he signed my Hofner bass), I wouldn't mind seeing him agian. I wouldn't mind bumping into Bill Shatner, too

Music:

Beatles, Pink Floyd, 60's Mod,Tears For Fears The Police, 80's, Gary Numan, Keane, Jet, Stone Temple Pilots, Bob Dylan, Monkees, Moody Blues, movie scores, etc

Movies:

Star Wars; James Bond series; All the President's Men; The Manchurian Candidate (both versions); Tron; Back to the Future; Hunt for Red October; Superman

Television:

X-Files; Star Trek; Daily Show; Knight Rider; Three's Company; Seinfeld; 24; Family Guy; Futurama

Books:

here's where I get a wee nerdy...pretty much any Trek related book by Bill Shatner...then I love all of the Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein books ie All The President's Men and The Final Days.

Heroes:

The most obvious hero would be Sir James Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, Sir George Martin, Sir Sean Connery, then maybe Sir David Hasselhoff and Harrison Ford....and I've re-discovered how great of an actor Bob Redford really is..everything from All the President's Men to Sneakers;...and last and certainly not least....George Washington Carver...I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER!!!
