Killing «worth Sabrina's Hair 1 BOUTIQUE j • X. » > Roberts was died by Bradley, join ing with Councilwom an Pat Russell, on behalf o f L .A . ’ s citizens, for his “ outstanding contributions to the community and the city in promoting and encouraging youth to resist drugs.” Right T ra c k ’ s unique approach is to use "celebrity pressure” to encour age youth to resist the “ peer pres sure” to take drugs, and to furnish responsible, ethical, successful role models for them to relate to and emu late. Right Track — with Michael as C hairm an o f the board — has re cruited many celebrities who agree with M ich ae l’s anti-drug stand. The Right Track program provides these celebrities as guest speakers at schools and offers kids help in com municating their feelings and prob lems to parents and teachers, rather than withdrawing through drugs. “ Right Track has always viewed drugs,” according to M ay o r Brad ley’s proclamation, "n o t as the prob lem — but as the wrong solution to the problems faced by our young and has provided answers to these prob- lems by giving youngsters alternative ways to solve their situations and by inspiring them to rise to greater achievements in their lives.” Michael studied dram a in high school in Los Angeles, and later at the C a lifo rn ia Institute o f the Arts and the School o f Perform ing Arts in San Diego, and with instructors Jeff Corey and M anu Tupo. H e made his feature film debut in “ H e artb re ak ers” and starred in “ Ice Pirates” for which he was nomined fo r a 1984 N A A C P Black Image Aw ard as best supporting actor. He has guest-starred in episodes of "Jigsaw John,” "M ed ica l C enter,” “ The H u lk ,” and ” B .J. and the Bear,” and has had the rare oppor tunity o f working with Richard Bur ton in an episode o f "T he Fall G uy." His versatility as an actor and re fusal to be type-cast, playing such diverse roles as the street-smart Rooster and the impeccable Professor Arrechia, is matched only by his gen uine concern to provide role models for today’s young people, and to en able them to live a better life.
