Acting

Michele got serious about acting 5 years ago, after doing the upbeat student film "I KILLED MY HUSBAND TODAY" while living in Brisbane, Australia. When she and her real-life husband (who is in perfect health BTW) returned to their current home in Los Angeles, she took acting classes and has booked 4 co-star roles on NBC's PARENTHOOD, BOSTON LEGAL, THE SHIELD & Fox's STANDOFF. She'll be doing a staged reading in June for the Stanford alumni in entertainment group SIE.
