Michael May, a talented individual, was born on April 29, 1999, in Atlanta, Georgia. His journey in the acting world began at the tender age of three when he stole the spotlight with his solo performance in the play "Bye-Bye Birdie." This marked the starting point of his illustrious career.
At five years old, Michael attended an "Open-Call" audition in Atlanta, where he was discovered by Joy Pervis of JPervis Talent Agency. This pivotal moment led to a series of commercial bookings, including 790 the Zone, Belk, and a Tommy Hilfiger Runway show.
By the age of six, Michael had already landed his first movie role in "Good Intentions," co-starring alongside LeAnn Rimes, Elaine Hendrix, and Luke Perry. This achievement was merely the beginning of his extensive filmography.
At seven years old, Michael booked his second feature film, "The Lost and Found Family," where he played the foster brother of Lucas Till. A few months later, he secured a role in the feature film "Blood Done Sign My Name," starring Rick Schroder, Lela Richon, and Nate Parker. Interestingly, this film would later reunite him with future television co-stars Lee Norris and Cullen Moss.
Michael's television debut came at the age of eight, when he landed a role on the hit show "One Tree Hill." Initially cast as "Chuck Scolnik," he began as a day-player and "schoolyard bully" to co-star Jackson Brundage. Over the course of four seasons, Michael appeared in over thirty episodes, sharing the screen with notable figures such as NFL hall-of-famer Jerry Rice and Quinton Aaron, from the Academy Award-winning movie "The Blindside."
During his time on "One Tree Hill," the producers discovered Michael's hidden talent as a singer-songwriter. He performed his original song not only on the show but also on stage with fellow co-star and Warner Brothers recording artist Tyler Hilton. Their performances took place at esteemed venues such as Eddies Attic in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Soapbox Lounge in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Michael's impressive resume also includes the voice of Taylor McTuttle in the animated Christmas movie "An Elf's Story," based on the book "The Elf on the Shelf," as well as the iconic role of "Young Stifler" in the new movie from the "American Pie" dynasty, "American Reunion."
