Michael Houston King
And the life story that brought you the feature film
THE WAY BACK HOME
.
Michael Houston King has an English degree from Duke University and a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Acting from North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After school Mr. King moved to New York City and began his television acting career on the soap opera AS THE WORLD TURNS. He then moved to Los Angeles where he appeared in shows such as STAR TREK, PHILLY, DROP DEAD DIVA, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and PACIFIC BLUE along with numerous network pilots including THE TRAVEL AGENCY for CBS, SAVING GRACES for the WB, and the syndicated pilot GREEN SAILS shot in Australia. Growing emotionally weary and losing his passion for acting in 2004, Mr. King “hit a spiritual and emotional wall” while living in Los Angeles causing him to stop acting entirely. It was at that time that Mr. King shifted all his energy into writing the feature film THE WAY BACK HOME, a spiritual journey about the power of prayer, redemption, and the importance of family.
THE WAY BACK HOME airs regularly on The Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and can be purchased at most National Christian Book Store Chains and outlets. Mr. King is presently working on his second feature titled MY BEST FRIEND while also producing a seven episode single camera dramatic series titled THE PASTOR.
In 2005 Mr. King partnered with his brother Chris to open a real estate company called Elevation Financial Group. Elevation’s mission is to identify and preserve “low income” affordable housing for seniors. The company has grown rapidly since its inception and it is Mr. King’s hope that Elevation will continue to provide this service for years to come to the many seniors who call Florida home.
Mr. King, his wife Tammy and her two daughters Brittany and Kirsten, live in Orlando with their dogs Bruiser and Roxie. In short, Mr. King hopes someone - somewhere - can relate to his story.
