At the age of 24, Mike decided to follow his dream and move from Switzerland to Los Angeles in order to pursue a career in acting. Mike became a co-founder and managing member of Hollywood Dreams Productions, LLC, a company focused on the development of television series concepts as well as screenplays for motion pictures.
Mike played a pivotal role in creating and developing the television series concept "Hollywood Dreams," which won "Best Series Concept" at the Canadian BANFF in 1998. The TV series concept was then optioned by Paramount International Television in October 1998 and represented at the MIP-COM in Cannes the same year. Ever since then, Mike was inspired to be tuned into the creative universal power in order to "download" consciousness-raising screenplays that would ultimately involve him as an actor.
