Michael Anderson took this first breath in Denver on a Halloween night. Subject to a genetic anomaly known as osteogenesis imperfecta, he grew up in a wheelchair. Once he graduated high school, he
traveled America, singing for tips and living in his car. For six
years, he attended the University of Colorado where he majored in
numerous subjects ranging from philosophy to microbiology. After
college, he began working for Martin Marietta, trouble-shooting the N.A.S.A.
computers in the ground-support system of the space shuttle. During
this time, he made the documentary "Little Mike," which won a silver
medal in the International Film and Television Awards. Soon thereafter,
he moved to New York City, where his film and television career began. For many
years, Anderson was most well-known among fans of director
David Lynch for his work as a
backwards-talking dream figure on the cult favorite T.V. series
Twin Peaks (1990). Anderson also
worked with Lynch for the experimental performance piece
Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Brokenhearted (1990)
and the T.V.-pilot-turned-feature film
Mulholland Drive (2001). Anderson
gained further recognition and success for his work on
the H.B.O. series
Carnivàle (2003).
