Today on Too Opinionated we speak with actor/singer Michael Devine. Actor Michael Devine is a name to remember with his versatile acting capabilities and wide-ranging talent. Michael can currently be seen portraying an all-too-real role in the new HBO series The Undoing. Working alongside leading actors Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, Michael plays the series regular role of \u2018Detective Paul O\u2019Rourke\u2019. As a real-life, recently retired Detective Sergeant for the New York Police Department (NYPD), Michael brings a realness to the role, touching on past experiences in law enforcement. The weekly six episode mini-series premiered on Oct 25th.

With a long-standing career behind him, Michael can also be seen playing law enforcement roles in other notable films and television shows such as: The Wolf of Wall Street, Law & Order, Blue Bloods, Mozart in the Jungle, American Odyssey, Orange Is the New Black, Big Time Adolescence, The Post, and Ava DuVernay\u2019s When They See Us (a series that brings awareness to the root of the Black Lives Matter movement). Most notably though, Michael played the series regular role of \u2018James Tech Padgett\u2019 in CBS\u2019 Limitless.

Michael was actually a 3rd generation policeman \u2013 and lost his father in the line of duty. During Michael\u2019s own fourth year as a policeman, he experienced the catastrophic events of 9/11. He was posted up at the St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral for most of the day doing surveillance work, and headed over to Ground Zero towards the end of the day to provide extra support. He spent 22-years in total working for the NYPD \u2013 of which 12-years were spent working for the Chief of Detectives Office \u2013 and was most recently staffed to relay information to the press. Michael retired from the NYPD this year to focus on his blooming acting career.

While growing up in Clifton, New Jersey, Michael found an alternative passion for music and acting \u2013 for which he has had 16 years of success in the industry. In 2011, his fondness for music led him to release an album entitled \u2018Songs of Valor and Hope,\u2019 which landed at #1 in four different categories on Amazon Music. With Irish influences and tones similar to that of Josh Groban, the album consists of a collection of cover songs such as \u201cAve Maria,\u201d \u201cHallelujah,\u201d \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d and many more treasured classics. Michael has had the honor of performing his music at Madison Square Garden, Rainbow Room and Lincoln Center \u2013 and served as the NYPD\u2019s National Anthem soloist. Aside from singing, he also plays the bagpipes. He is currently working on creating a new album, and hopes to one day be cast in a Broadway production. With his powerful story, moving voice and stacked resume, it\u2019s clear that Michael has become one to watch in Hollywood.\xa0
