Sean Cameron Michael

thumb Sean Cameron Michael (aka Sean C. Michael) (born 24 December 1969) is a South African actor, writer and singer. A native English speaker, he is also fluent in Afrikaans. Quotes I was initially drawn to the project because STARZ had produced such great work in the past, such as the award-winning Spartacus TV series, and because Michael Bay was attached to produce his first foray into television, which was obviously a bonus. It was a no-brainer, really – what actor doesn’t want to work on a new pirate TV series? Treasure Island is such a wonderful story, and in my research and preparation before shooting season 1, I re-read the book and watched the 1950s Bobby Driscoll film, as well as the 2012 Eddie Izzard TV movie. Other reference material was Colin Woodard’s The Republic of Pirates and George Woodbury’s edition of The Great Days of Piracy. Of course, our story takes place 20 years before the Robert Louis Stevenson classic. Still, it was essential for me to place myself in that world and understand its politics, drama, and feel. Besides working with dialect coaches to perfect Richard’s very unique old English accent, I also referenced shows like Downton Abbey. I was fortunate to work with Charles Dance on Strike Back, so he, too, was an inspiration. External link nm0584206 Category:1969 births Category:Living people
