Manasseri was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Wyatt Donnelly in the TV series Weird Science (1994) and his voice portrayal on Santo Bugito. Manasseri also had a recurring role in the second season of the NBC sitcom Wings as young pilot Kenny McElvey. He guest starred on several TV shows, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Wonder Years, Boston Public, and ER.
He directed his first film, Babysitter Wanted, in 2007, which premiered at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain. His second directed film is the 2012 release, the sci-fi/comic book horror film Sucker. He also was a producer on the 2011 Michigan-made film Detention of the Dead directed by his long-time friend, Alex Craig Mann.
Michael is married to Michigan actress, Sarah Manasseri (formerly Benedict), who starred in the SAG new media pilot, The Road to Hell. Michael and Sarah were married at Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 17, 2013, after a 2-year engagement.
