I have known Michael Tomlinson for 27 years. We met when I was an assistant at ICM and he a client .it gives me such pleasure to say that he has become of the great theater actors and film actors that I know. I have cast him in numerous films and plays. Including recently Ric Burns “Dante’s Divine Comedy” what Michael brings to every role he takes is incredible humanity. He does not sore you the ugliness or the greed or the despair. He lays himself bare. The truth emerges/ This is what great acting is. I am so blessed and honored to get to work with this extraordinary artist. I look forward to seeing tonight’s final show of “Hands of Light,” which may be the last for tonight but will be played again on the radio in September.
Thank you Michael for bringing all of yourself to Midas.
