Michael Rodrick
Michael Rodrick, a native of Jersey City, embarked on an unexpected journey into the arts during his junior year of high school. He auditioned for New Jersey's Governor's School of the Arts on a whim, ultimately earning a spot as one of just twelve students selected statewide. This pivotal experience led him to pursue higher education at the Catholic University of America, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, all while supporting himself as a theater carpenter, building the very sets he would later grace as a performer.
His early college performances included notable roles such as Jim O'Connor in Tennessee Williams' classic, The Glass Menagerie, and the Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Michael's film career features roles in several prominent titles, including The River Murders alongside Ray Liotta, and the award-winning Desolation Angels, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival. He first captured television audiences as Cameron in NBC's Another World and has since guest-starred in a variety of popular series, including Hawaii Five-0, Castle, and CSI: Miami. Additionally, he contributed his voice to video games like Call of Duty: Black Ops II and L.A. Noire.
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Michael is passionate about community service, focusing on building housing for the homeless, particularly seniors and veterans, as well as supporting at-risk foster youth. In his spare time, he studies Krav Maga, enjoys tuna fishing, salsa dancing, and frequently attends film festivals.
