Character Evaluation
Mike has the face of a standard American high school student. His eyes are described by the New York Times as "deceptive innocent eyes". In the movie "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist", he played the line of youth romantic comedy that he was good at .
Mike is different from Chaplin or Kim Kerry, who relies on actions to make laughter. The characters he plays are always a little sluggish, never strong in sexual ability, always a little inferior, and always full of illusions about girls but always helpless. Like almost all talented comedians, he is very different from the screen image. In real life, he is a bit autistic ). Almost all comedy performances come from anger, but his performances come from another place .
