He told the publication, “Everybody from behind the cameras to the actors, there are just no egos or that ‘you have to earn my respect’ kind of thing. It’s an amazing and creative environment. They truly want you to flourish over here.”

Also, Michael says that he’s very aware of the fact that he has some big shoes to fill in. After all, Kyle has a very long, and if not complicated history on the show. For Michael, it was just a matter of where to start first.

Michael said, “I did as much research as I could, but as far as watching episodes of the show, there are over 11,000 of them, so where do I even start? I’ve been talking to one of the producers on the set and he’s been giving me some history. I also watched a video that has interviews with the actors who have been here forever and there were also clips of some very important scenes, so that gave me a huge education. Other than that, they’ve really been excited about me taking Kyle where I want to take him.”
