Michael has continued to work in smaller roles but he said he stopped working so much to focus on his family after his first wife died in 1993. He shared, “I always did this, and this was just a part of me. I’ve been making sounds since I was a kid. So, after high school I hitchhiked to Los Angeles, and I didn’t know where to go. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I just knew that I wanted to do this. And then I ended up being part of this movie called ‘Police Academy,’ and suddenly my life changed from there. … I ended up doing pretty well! But I stopped making movies because I quit the business for my children. I had to raise them, because I became a widower.”

Simon Cowell, one of the judges, admitted, “I always say the best races I love watching, because I love motor-racing, is sometimes all the big champions come back and they battle with the rookies. And that makes it a proper competition. So, the fact that you’ve come and you’ve set a standard here is just so thrilling for me. I’m absolutely ecstatic. That’s how you do it.”
