Last God Standing (31 page)

Michael Boatman spends his days and nights pretending to be other people. For a living.

He’s acted in television shows; 
China Beach, Spin City, ARLI$$, Anger Management, Instant Mom,The Good Wife,
films; 
Hamburger Hill, The Glass Shield, Bad Parents,
and Broadway plays.

After many years in his chosen profession he’s decided to chuck it all and seek his fortune as a writer. (Just kidding. He secretly dreams of changing the world as a talkative mime.)
