 MICHAEL
DURRELL
Dr. Alex Nikolas,
1987-88
Michael Durrell was born in Brooklyn and raised in
Hartford, the son of a Sicilian shoemaker who wanted Michael to follow him
in that business. As a young man, Michael tried to please his father and
enrolled in Boston University as a business and economics major. Unable to
keep up the charade for very long, he finally switched his major to fine
arts. Later, he studied acting with a female acting coach, who managed to
convince Michael's father that show biz wasn't really a bad profession
after all.
Michael's many television credits include The Guiding
Light, V, Alice, Shannon, Nobody's Perfect, Soap, I'm a Big Girl
Now, Hill Street Blues, Matlock, Beverly Hills 90210 and the

including Kojak, Dynasty, Cagney & Lacey, Highway to Heaven,
Remington Steele, Hotel, Knight Rider and Desperate
Housewives. He also appeared in the television motion pictures A
Killing Affair, The Immigrants and When Every Day Was the Fourth of
July.
Michael's feature film appearances include roles in Thank
God It's Friday and Sister Act. A veteran of the Broadway
stage, he starred in The Sunshine Boys with Jack Albertson and in Murder
Among Friends with Janet Leigh.
Michael is married to soap producer Charlotte Savitz and
has a daughter, Gabriele. His birthdate is October 6, 1943.
