Actor
Good looks and a couple of television roles helped to put actor Michael Gray in public eye. Also, for many years in on the covers of "Tiger Beat" magazine.
Born in Chicago, Michael moved to Florida when he was a young boy.
He caught the acting bug in high school, and eventually made his way to Hollywood. In 1972, Michael won the role of Ronnie on the NBC series The Little People, a charming sitcom that starred Brian Keith as a pediatrician with a practice on Oahu, Hawaii. The series was reworked for the second season and retitled The Brian Keith Show, and Michael was let go.
Signed to a management deal with Charles Laufer, pubisher of "Tiger Beat," Michael was able to keep a high profile while rounding up other acting roles. Michael's second series came in 1974, when he was cast in his signature role, as Billy Batson on the Saturday morning series Shazam. The series ran for 3 years but was then cancelled due to increasing production costs.
Some of Michael's other credits include: Room 222, Marcus Welby M.D , The Flying Nun, Run Simon Run, Myra Breckenridge, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Bobby Joe and the Good Time Band, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, The Brady Bunch, Our Time, Dinah and Dynasty
Today, Michael has added to his TV credits having been on FXX's hit show "Archer" and AMC's "Comic Book Men".
He's currently getting ready to go on the "Comic Con Circuit" after just doing "Monterey Comic Con".
The ever-youthful Michael Gray is happily married and living in Northern California. He is currently writing a book about his life in Hollywood.
