“He was always so wonderful to work with,” Susan recalled, via SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. “He was prepared, he was on time, he was committed, he was sweet, he was respectful to everyone around him — cast, crew, producers, everybody, you name it. But not nauseously so, you know, not phony baloney. He was authentically who he was. He was a genuinely terrific young man.”
Michael said her praise was “sweet,” and he needs to “get in touch with her,” before reflecting on his time on the show.
“That time I spent on that show did so much for me education-wise,” he said, noting the he had the honor of “learning about the craft” with stars like Susan, Darnell Williams and Walt Willey.
“We did 100-plus pages a day,” MBJ continued. “We did an episode and a half a day, you know what I’m saying? It was a machine. And [for] a kid that never really went to acting classes and never went to acting school or anything like that, that was my education. I learned from them.”
