Michael Thomas Dunn

He has an IQ of 175. He scored so well on aptitude tests in 7th grade, he was advanced directly to high school (skipping 8th grade). As a seventh grader, he also took the SAT/ACT and performed so well that he never retook either college entrance exam (used the existing scores to enter college several years later).

While on hiatus from filming, Michael attends the University of Central Florida. He earned a Master's Degree in 2008.

In November 2007, he was the victim of a violent armed robbery. He sustained over 40 fractures to his face and lost the top of his left ear from a gunshot. He was able to find his way to a phone and call for help, even though he was temporarily blinded by the attack (he sustained more than 8 blunt force hits to his head from a hand gun). The paramedics and emergency room staff did not expect him to survive the injuries. At the time, he was midway through filming the feature film, "Bloody 27." The film was stalled by one month - it was quickly rewritten to explain that his character's injuries were caused by a jealous husband. Michael returned to acting in December 2007 when "Bloody 27" resumed filming.

Veteran TV Producer Danny Bilson (The Sentinel, Viper) had pushed/coached Dunn to pursue a career in the Film Industry (starting in 1998). To pay homage to Bilson, Dunn named the recurring hero in the independent films Midnight Conflict and Silent Night, "Paul Bilson." This character's name was derived from the producing team of Paul DeMeo and Danny Bilson (who created the Flash, Viper and The Sentinel).

Over the years, Michael has appeared as an extra in dozens of films, commercials and television shows. He concentrates on writing, but he does work as an actor occassionally. In 1995, he had a starring role as a doomed car salesman in the student film, Holding On. Two years later, he appeared as a rogue CIA operative in the action film Midnight Conflict. He also wrote and directed the film.
