“Michael is an excellent acting teacher and coach, and has helped me grow exponentially as an actor.”

​Star of Breaking Bad
 With Mr. Laskin’s encouraging and kind way of teaching, I am exceedingly comfortable being vulnerable in ways I feel I could not have achieved before.

Star of  Big Sky, Pitch and Game Night
 When I coach with Michael, there’s so much give and take with your own personal ideas that you feel as though you’re both creatively attacking the material together, and not just being directed as I have experienced with other coaches.
