MICHAEL'S FAMOUS ACTING RELATIVES

Coming from a family with many illustrious actors, Michael has upheld a

vocation of artistic expression.  His maternal Aunt, Helen Shaver, and maternal

cousin, Lally Cadeau, are well-known actors in both theater and television, and 

often lend their voices to many films for dubbing purposes. 

There is also a great uncle who was in the Canadian theater in the eatly 1900's,

and the Grand Theater has a 'McManus Studio Theater' for smaller 

productions, which was named for Michael's great uncle, who was an 

industrialist and  patron of the arts in Toronto.

 

Helen Shaver, best known for Scifi TV show 'Poltergeist the Legacy' has done

many films and television in both Canada and the US, and is now an important show writer in Los Angeles.

         

 

Lally Cadeau, well-known Canadian Theater actress, is best known for the

many Stratford  Shakespeare festivals in which she participates.
