Michael Ellen-Sean
My name is Michael and I am a 26 year old actor trying to craft a pathway towards being able to do what I love until the day I die.
For me, acting is about empathy; finding the link of understanding between yourself and the character you are portraying. Our job is to tell stories, to excite, make you think and to allow you to dream.
My barber once asked me what it’s like being an actor. I said “imagine your boss saying thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice, now you get to cut hair 3 times a year. Personally, I want to cut hair every f***ing day”
