Michael Foley
SUBJECT SET: ALCOHOL (2009)
Dr. Scientist

Michael Foley is more than an agreeably game, moldable, and conviencing theatrical talent. He appears as Dr. Scientist in WCEE.net's drama "Alcohol At Wit's End", sketch comedy "Alcohol Bait & Switch!", and adventure "Alcohol and Class Action." Together, the three shows comprise a WCEE.net "Subject Set," the most complete virtual experience brand in educational entertainment.

The Subject Set is based on, and expanded from, the 1985 Film Ideas, Inc. release "The Subject of a Moment" that School Library Journal called "exceptionally well acted and carefully shot... strong impact without being preachy... outstanding... an excellent purchase choice," and Simon & Schuster called "very high quality... quite impressive... accurate... real..."

Originally from Hicksville, Long Island, New York, Foley has a BFA and MFA in painting and drawing from the San Francisco Art Institute. A gallery tour of his work is featured on his website. He is also a talented singer, songwriter, arranger, and guitarist, and has recently released the CD "Fear and Forgiveness," produced by his son, Emmet Foley.

He is currently working on two different CD and video projects; one as a solo act, and the other with his group, The Michael Foley Trio.

Foley and his borther, bassist John York, reciently performed a duet called "The Foley Boys" on The Bruce Latimer Show (PCT channel 26). York, who has played with the Mamas and the Papas, Johnny Rivers, and Lightnin' Hopkins, and is a former member of The Byrds, is currently on tour with Barry Mcguire.

Foley is devoted to his wife, children, and grandchildren. He also says, "Painting and music consume my life." Foley lives in Pacifica, California.
