Michael Allen

Michael Allen is a main character in Murder: The TV Series. He is portrayed by Matt Juran.

Description
Michael is a troubled young man from a broken home. His father having always been very homophobic and abusive, when Michael began to grow into himself and his sexuality, he suppressed his true feelings to try and save his relationship with his father. Despite this, Michael's father still used him as a punching bag emotionally and physically.

Michael tends to be rather impulsive and naive, sometimes acting out completely on a whim and really believing in his own feelings, even if there is concrete proof against him. When Marie found out about his relationship with Ronan, he truly believed that there was nothing wrong with the relationship and snatched her phone - which had a picture of Michael with Ronan - throwing it to the ground.

Under it all, he is supportive and caring for his friends and will back them wholeheartedly. When Tana came out to him, Michael showed her strong support and care, both of them vowing to always be there for each other if either of them needed a friend. When Bobby was killed, Michael stayed with Jessica to comfort and help her.
