He starred as Jack in the one hour BBC docudrama That Summer Day which was broadcast on July 7, 2006 — the one-year anniversary of the bombings of the London public transport system.[4]

On November 17, 2006 Michael made his stage debut as Kurt von Trapp in the London Palladium production of The Sound of Music for which he will perform two shows a week until April 2007, with other days being covered by two other actors.
