yes

Was it his work in Mormon Market Movies that corrupted him?

WOW!

To Yes... Wow, what an intelligent statement! I'll bet yout IQ is stunning.
Do you roam newspapers and LDS sites so you can contribute such wonderfully wise input?

anon

Apparently actors in LDS comedies don't earn much.

Duh

Not everyone that does a Mormon market Movie becomes corrupted! Your logic is so poor that you might as well say "Was it his addiction to white bread that corrupted him?"

Moessers

Michael has had some hard times, and he's has four children and it's unfortunate that they have to go through this... please think of them before posting all the chuckle headed comments you people are so frothing at the mouth to post...

I feel so bad for this young man and his family. We don't know why he did this. It certainly has nothing to do with the films he was in, though. I'm sad that he made this bad choice. We all have free agency, but we're not free to choose the consequences.

Dave

Whatever Moessers said...I agree with!

other mormons

chill out. we are having a little fun at ourselves

@ yes

I thought it was funny!

@ Moessers: Do you really think this guys kids are sitting home reading the DMN?

Get a sense of humor people! I mean the guy did comedy (sorta) movies, Maybe they will make a new movie based on his experience!

Michael

Should have been charged for unlawful stupidity. Using skype to broadcast with the computer camera on himself!

By the way Anon, good to see you posting here my friend.

Hawaii Fan still laughing.

Body works

It looks like a few on here have fairly low IQ ability's. Most people who act have a very LOW IQ in my opinion. That's pretty much why these people sing and dance for a living, and they steal lie and cheat for extra benefits on the side. And it's all part of the acting business. Remember Winona Ryder. whewwwww! what scallywag she was. Her colors came through LOUD and brilliantly..NOT! These people on the most part are all degenerates in glittery apparel. If they didn't have a face or looks to showoff they would all be BUMS on the street. Hollywood is filled with this sort of glamor .

RE: Kathyn

Young Man? He's 37 and apparently has 4 children, that's seems pretty old to me. I've been to his comedy club and he's not really not that funny.

Hard times?

Well then, that makes stealing ok as long as it's someone elses and not mine. Glad you let me in on this. Why don't you give him your computer, or is it too covered with froth?

Steve

Body works - what an awful generalization. Not all actors are bad people. Where would civilization be without actors and the arts? Pretty dull and boring.

tmernelson

Wow! You sound bitter Body Works. Did you not get a part you wanted?
Over generalizing...
This actor used to go to my ward back when he was a stand up comic. I haven't seen him in 15 years. It surprises me that he would do something like this but I guess you have to know the circumstances to be able to understand the action.

RE: Body Works

Speak for your self. Plural spelling of ability is abilities, I-E-S, not "ability's". That's possessive, and incorrect.

Herb Gravy

How unfortunate and embarrassing to him and to most of you.

hang in there

Hang in there Michael, you can rebound, worse has been done by entertainers who managed to recover their careers

RE: RE Body Works

"Your self" is a compound word and should be spelled as such: Yourself. It is the fact that I am not an actor that allows me to know how to spell words correctly and apparently affords me the right to respect others property.

Give me a break.

Too Bad, but

there are many people going through hard times and they don't steal laptops. Maybe if he was stealing bread to feed his children, I could understand. When all is said and done, the only thing a person has that no one can take away is their integrity. You alone have the ability to give it away or sell it -- apparently his is worth the price of a laptop.
