Com­ment­ing on his cast­ing in the Net­flix-re­lat­ed pro­duc­tion, Ques­tion Marks founders Si­mon Bap­tiste and Car­olyn Pasea said: Ques­tion Mark has al­ways been proud to man­age ex­tra­or­di­nary tal­ent. Michael’s work and ded­i­ca­tion to his craft says a lot about his craft, but his in­tegri­ty and char­ac­ter is what sets him apart from the rest, and the main rea­son we want­ed to rep­re­sent him. Michael is a good soul who wants every­one to be suc­cess­ful, and that prompts us to work hard­er on his be­half every day.
