Then on to roles, Recurring, Guest Star, and Co-Star in over 100 shows for MGM, Universal, Spelling, Cannell, Columbia Pictures Television, Warner Bros. Television and 19th Century Fox TV throughout the 70's and 80's. In 1986, Michael landed the role of Scottish adventurer Duncan McKechnie on As the World Turns where he remained for 10 years. In 1998 Michael moved to The Bold and the Beautiful where he played the role of Adam Alexander, the long-lost ex-husband of Sally Spectra. He stayed under contract for 2 years (1998-1999) and he made guest appearances in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
