Better yet, let Michael do the measuring. The senior at the Coronado School of the Arts is a math phenom who earned a perfect score on the SAT Level 1 math test (and nearly aced Level 2). He’s also a physics wiz who plans to make that subject one of his college majors.

His acting skills earned him a spot as one of some 140 finalists (out of about 4,000 hopefuls nationwide) in the annual YoungArts program run by the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. That meant a weeklong trip to Miami in January for workshops with such stage luminaries as the Norwegian actress and director Liv Ullmann.
