Michael was the nephew of actor George Nader and was raised in California. He first appeared in several 1960s beach movies including Beach Party and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. He soon got his big break in the show Bare Essence. He was then cast on Dynasty as the third husband of Joan Collins’ character Alexis Colby.

When Dynasty ended, he moved on to All My Children. Sadly, he struggled with substance abuse and was later fired from the soap. He sued ABC claiming that the All My Children producers promised him they would rehire him if he was treated for his addictions.
