- His biography in the press kit for The Blair Witch Project (1999) mentioned that he played for the New York Yankees farm team. It was actually the biography that Michael wrote for the character of "Mike" in the film. The character's biography was accidentally used by the producers, leading people to believe that Michael, the actor, played baseball in the N.Y. Yankees farm system. By the time Michael found out about the mistake, it had already been printed in the New York Times.

I'm going to be on Jay Leno in two weeks!" - on the amount he was paid ($1,000) by the producers of the $60,000 "The Blair Witch Project" (which has so far made $80 million), to The New York Times August 1999.
- The money I made from 'Blair' is certainly the most money I've ever made acting, and it hasn't been consistent." So I have to work. I have no problem with that. I'm not scared of work. Hopefully, it'll make my lifelong story a little more interesting. [Interview with Heather Salerno, Kuly, 2009]
