23	!!Tropes
24	* DawsonCasting: Michael E. Rodgers was 30 years old when he played Junior in the 2000 Thomas movie, even though the original script mentioned that the character was ten years younger.
25	** In the obscure, but recent Creator/DisneyChannel series "Penny on MARS", 49-50-year-old Michael played the 36-year-old Bruce Gold, and his younger self!
26	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He has dark blonde hair, and he's a very nice actor.
27	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The 2001 ABC US pilot of the British miniseries "Metropolis", in which Michael plays a StalkerWithACrush, has fell into obscurity after it didn't get picked up by ABC. It doesn't have any known home media release nor TV airings, and only the original script can be found (for now), so good luck trying to track it down.
28	** Same goes for his personal television appearances, mostly the ones done while promoting WesternAnimation/ThomasAndTheMagicRailroad in the UK, possibly due to his obscurity or the [[NeverAcceptedInHisHometown infamy of the film in the UK]], so good luck trying to track them down if you want to see those kind of videos.
29	** Most of his appearances in some television commercials are hard to track down too, with the hardest-to-find one being a commercial for Apple IDVD from 2001.
30	* LighterAndSofter: "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" is the first children's film he ever starred in, and he had a lot of fun making it.
31	* PlayingAgainstType: His involvement in the "Thomas" film, which is a children's film compared to the roles he starred in prior.
32	* PrettyBoy: He was a pretty-looking man back when he was younger, especially in the summer of 2000...
33	* StarMakingRole: His role as Junior in WesternAnimation/ThomasAndTheMagicRailroad is an attempted star-making role for him. Unfortunately, the movie didn't do too well and it became a StarDerailingRole for him instead (thankfully, he still has some fans that love his performance as Junior), so, aside from an uncredited cameo role in Film/ThePatriot2000, he hasn't starred in a mainstream film since then.
