Acting: Michael Kleven

While Michael hasn’t taken on a lead role in a few years he is always excited by the opportunity to step on the other side of the lens, to stride the stage or provide voice talent for an audio project. With Michael you get a trained, disciplined and experienced actor with an understanding on the production process. If you have a role that might interest him please drop a line.
