ABOUT
ABOUT
My favorite roles often include dialects, dark humor, and duels to the death - in other words the classics a passion of mine. I aspire to one day be a series lead in a period drama.
On the stage I've been fortunate to perform at some of the nations best Regional Theatres, and made my Off-Broadway in Mint Theatre Company's Crooked Cross. I earned my unofficial "NY Actor Badge" with my first appearance of Law and Order SVU in 2026!
We recently wrapped production for Son of Bysshe - an eccentric period drama short film I wrote, produced, and starred in, about the early life of poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, and intend to begin submitting to Film Festivals starting in 2027.
I grew up on the west coast, and miss my rainy Seattle days dearly. I made punk-rock roots in the Cleveland music scene, where I also happened to graduate with my MFA in acting from Case Western Reserve University.
I'm currently based out of the ever-bustling NYC pursuing great roles, stories and memories!

"The performances from the young cast range from serviceable to very good, with particularly passionate turns delivered by Ella Stevens and Gavin Michaels"
-Adrian Dimanlig, Interludes - adriandimanlig.org - Crooked Cross
"Michaels is a vulnerable soul – torn between his love for his sister and the demands of his political position."
-Isa Goldberg, theaterlife.com - Crooked Cross
"Michaels as Orlando was an excellent choice. His open face and wide-eyed expressions show the people in the back corners of the crowd that he is in love, in pain, pensive, or jocular. Michaels carries one of the heaviest responsibilities in the show and he bears the burden with grace and talent."
-Kim Hastings, dramainthehood.net - As You Like It
"In the central role of Victor (plus Percy and others), Gavin Michaels registers Victor's passion for finding the secret of life, and his equally compelling disgust at the monstrosity he has fashioned"
-Christine Howey, clevescene.com - Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
"Michaels’s Caliban epitomizes his existence in the soil, subtly telling his background story including the loss of his mother and language."
-Yuko Kurahashi, playshakespeare.com - The Tempest
"Gavin Michaels deserves accolades for his acting work in the dual role of Danny/Hambone, showcasing two very opposite personalities."
-Hal Peterson, chucksconnection.com - Danny Doom
"[Michaels] manages to capture the monster's torment and his stark "otherness."
-Christine Howey, clevescene.com - The Tempest
"Adorable performances by the two leads [Michaels, and Brett Hargrave]"
-Dave Saffarian intoscreens.com - Danny Doom
"Michaels plays the star-struck lad [Romeo] with great skill, and his mop of curly hair makes him positively pretty!"
-Kim Hastings, dramainthehood.net - Romeo and Juliet
