Michael became a heart-throb as one half of the unlikely cop duo Dempsey and Makepeace that was so popular in the 80s, he was nominated for an Olivier as Best Actor in a Musical for the 2003 West End run of Jerry Springer The Opera and has recently starred in Captain America: The First Avenger, Tracey (Ullman) Breaks The News and Episodes.

On his journey from Brooklyn to Britain – via Hollywood – Michael Brandon has taken many off-ramps on the way. In this show, he tells how he gave himself two years to star in a Hollywood movie. Still there after 50, he lifts the lid on a half-century of showbiz personalities from De Niro to Pacino, Tony Curtis to Kim Novak and his ex-wife, the Bionic Woman!
