Michael Welch Movies
Sporting a clean-cut, all-American look, Los Angeles-born actor
Michael Welch entered the limelight well before his teens and balanced feature and television work with about equal weight. Early small screen projects included guest appearances and recurring roles on series such as
Frasier (as a young version of
David Hyde Pierce's Niles),
Veronica's Closet, and
Touched by an Angel, while
Welch's feature work invariably emphasized teen-oriented material and often found him cast as a young heartthrob. These big screen endeavors included the teen slasher movie
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006), the gore-soaked shocker
Day of the Dead (2007), the family-friendly political comedy
Choose Connor (2007), and the gothic vampire outing
Twilight (2008).
Welch also starred as Luke Girardi on the offbeat fantasy series
Joan of Arcadia (2003-5). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
