Meet "Charlie" from The Foreigner Cast

Michael Bishop (Charlie Baker) – Born and bred in England and now a resident of Northern California, Michael has enjoyed dressing up and performing since the age of three. He was last seen on stage acting out the part(s) of the frazzled stage manager and understudy, Tim Allgood, in Chautauqua Playhouse’s energetic 2008 comedy production of Noises Off! Outside the Sacramento area, Michael has performed a number of Shakespeare character roles including the Duke in As You Like It, Horatio in Hamlet, the Fool in an audio recording of King Lear, and a personal favorite, Malvolio in Twelfth Night. Working with a small ensemble led by his friend, New York-based actor and director Andre Bolouri, Michael has performed in modern stage adaptations of classic tales ranging from a rapid-fire, five person rework of Shakespeare’s Tempest to the lead role in Quetzlcoatl, the Legend of the Feathered Serpent. His most dramatic memory is playing the part of Socrates in a vivid presentation of the Trial of Socrates publicly re-enacted at the ancient Theatre of Dionysus beneath the Acropolis in Athens.
