Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Michael John Fuller. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Michael John, appreciate you joining us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is my film, “Breakthrough”, which I wrote, produced, and starred in. Set during World War II, it tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a Jewish American soldier and a young German boy soldier — a story of humanity amidst inhumanity.

Their bond reveals how deep human connection can transcend even the brutality of war. No matter where we come from — our backgrounds, religions, or orientations — we’re all human. We all feel love, compassion, and kindness, though these are often forgotten in times of conflict.

Acts of compassion during World War II are rarely spoken about, but as a military historian, it’s important for me to share that side. In today’s world, I feel we’ve lost sight of how deeply connected we really are — even across continents.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I actually began my professional journey at a very young age by joining the military. However, due to a service-related injury, my time was cut short after only a few years. That experience, though brief, instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, resilience, and purpose – qualities I later carried with me into a completely different path: the arts.

I made the decision to pursue a career in acting and spent several years living in both Toronto and Vancouver, before ultimately settling in Los Angeles. I am a proud graduate of the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, where I received formal training in method acting. Over the past 15 years, I have steadily built a career in the entertainment industry not only as an actor but also as a writer and producer. Most recently, I founded my own production company, EnterEvolve, with the goal of developing and producing meaningful, thought-provoking content.

What truly sets me apart as an actor and creative is my deep emotional sensitivity, empathy, and intuitive connection to the characters and stories I work with. As a method actor, I fully immerse myself in the emotional landscape of each role, striving to authentically inhabit the inner world of every character I portray.

Whether I’m acting, writing, or producing, my work is always rooted in an exploration of the human condition. I aim to tell stories that challenge perceptions, raise questions, and inspire introspection. My ultimate goal is to create art that lingers long after the credits roll – stories that not only entertain, but also provoke deeper thought and emotional resonance, encouraging audiences to reflect on their own lives and the world around them.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

Oh wow! Well, for me, the most rewarding aspect of being an artist is the emotional journey that comes with each project. It starts with reading that first page of a powerful script and feeling the spark of connection, even if I have no direct experience with the character or story. As I dive into the material, I go through the full spectrum of emotions the character experiences—from joy to heartbreak, conflict to resolution. By the time I reach the final page, I often feel a mix of gratification and loss, as if I’ve lived an entire life within the span of that story.

What makes it so fulfilling is that this process allows me to explore parts of myself I might not access otherwise. In a way, it’s therapeutic. I get to step into someone else’s reality, immerse myself fully, and come out changed. That emotional transformation—both mine and the one I hope to inspire in others—is what makes being a creative so deeply meaningful to me.

How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?

In my view, one of the most impactful ways society can support artists and creatives is through engagement, such as attending live theater, going to the movies, visiting art exhibits, or supporting independent and emerging creators in any way possible. Art needs an audience to thrive, and that support – whether financial, emotional, or communal—helps sustain the work and the people behind it.

Equally important is shifting the perception of art as merely a hobby or passion project and recognizing it as a legitimate, vital profession. Artists dedicate years to studying, refining, and practicing their craft, often with little stability or guarantee of success. When society acknowledges the value of creativity – not just as entertainment – but as a necessary lens through which we understand ourselves and the world—it creates space for a more vibrant, innovative, and empathetic culture. Supporting artists means respecting the work as work, and treating creativity as essential…not optional.
