Many will have met Michael at a number of conventions around the UK in which he was a familiar face. He was a friendly and fun person and even helped out in a couple of LARP events we ran taking the roll of a NPC Justicar.
In the wider world he will be remember for his rolls in Grange Hill and Star Wars.
The news hasn't said how he died as it's currently on banner rotation for Breaking News on the BBC site.
RIP Michael.
