Sean Michael has had the honor of being directed by both legendary comedy director, EMMY AWARD WINNER, JOHN LANDIS and WGA and GOLDEN GLOBE Nom. DAVID O. RUSSELL.

Sean Michael Boozer has been fortunate enough to study with not only some of the best working talent (actors and directors) but also those who are great teachers; WENDY DAVIS (Army Wives), MARY STEIN (Grinch, MIB2) and Two Time EMMY WINNER LARRY DRAKE (L.A. Law).

Stagewise, Sean Michael is the winner of Drama Beat Newspaper's IMPROVISER OF THE YEAR and a DRAMA CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD as a member of The People's Republic of Improv.
