McCartney grew up in New York City where he attended Trinity high school. Michael is a well known stage actor. He starred Off-Broadway in 'Warriors', the famous anti-war play and in LA in "It Is Done". His scene at the end of the movie, Halloween: Resurrection (2002), is truly frightening and shows the range of this formidable actor - who can go from leading man to character actor in a quick moment. His comedy work was also well known first seen as a sketch player on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. At six feet two, he was frequently found on the tough basketball courts of West Fourth Street before he moved to Los Angeles where he currently resides.
