What I love about Mike is that he seems to be absolutely 100% genuine ALL the time. Love him or hate him, Mike is never anything but Mike. Of course, it's impossible to not love the man!
Mike is so cool. I love how poised he is. He's so calm! No excessive movement there. Love him! Love the way he lets out a breath of relief at the end. Legend.
@Kadual Funny story, I took my class to the Botanical Garden in Milwaukee and saw a man in the distance. He was shaggy, thinning and walking weird. Had my class move closer to me. He got closer, and I realized it was Mike Schank. He's in bad shape, man. I ran into him and Mark at showing of some of George Kuchar's work and Mike looked to be back on the drugs. He's lot a lot of weight, his face looked to be dirty and when Mark told me to go say hi he was like a deer trapped in the headlights.
i saw an indie film where the main characters name was Scooby and they made a movie about him called American Scooby and Mike Schank has a cameo at the premiere. (none speaking)
when he was in american movie, he seemed like he was having trouble because he'd just got off the drugs. but know he sounds a lot more energetic and coherent. good for him!
Sadly, I read after a long searsh that he and his girlfriend got hooked on meth or something and are wallowing around in Las vegas. I hope it was false information, but there was a photo of them, and they didn't look well.
there was a number given somehow on the american movie dvd that said you could talk to mike if you called it and i did but it was just a voice mail... still kinda cool though
