Michael Cerveris

Known for
After decades in the business, Michael Cerveris is the kind of actor with a filmography that reaches back further than most viewers remember. Neither the cinema nor the television half of the career can be called the side project. 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Elihas Starr. 'Fringe' belongs on any short list of his work. The oldest credits belong to a different era of the industry. If the filmography has a home genre, it is drama.
