Michael has been making progress with his writing

Speaking with People back in October, ahead of the release of his recent movie, he gushed about his love for working behind the scenes as much as he enjoyed being on camera.

"I am auditioning still… I'm going out for whatever comes my way," he told the magazine. "Hopefully something will get landed, but in the meantime I'm also producing. I'm writing my own projects."

Talking about his love for reading and how it has influenced his writing, he added: "I've been a big reader since I was a kid, and my work is more fiction. 

"[Whereas, my mom] is drawing on her life," he also continued, referencing her best-selling memoir Live Wire, which he has extensively been mentioned in.
