Michael Hanelin is an American-born film actor who has appeared in feature films such as Durant's Never Closes, Dead in 5 Heartbeats and The Men Who Robbed the Bank. Michael resides in Los Angeles and practices medicine in his spare time. Michael Hanelin is an interventional radiologist with a special interest in uterine fibroid embolization. When he's not at the hospital, Michael is a dedicated film actor who has starred in many local short and feature films, such as Damsel, Voices from the Grave, Off Track and The Deconstruction of David Kennedy. Some of his projects have been played at the Phoenix Film Festival, Phoenix Comicon, the IFP Masterpiece Challenge and the IFP 48 hour Challenge. He had the pleasure of studying film and television technique with Marla Finn and (the late, Emmy winning producer) Peter Stelzer at the Phoenix Film Institute. He continues to take classes with Marla Finn, but has supplemented his studies with courses from Kevin R. Phipps on the Meisner technique. He one day hopes to play a doctor on TV. Oh, he thinks Colleen Hartnett is awesome too. Just sayin...
