Michael Spound (born April 8, 1957) is an American actor and writer.
Born in Santa Monica, California in 1957. Parents, Joan and Albert, moved the family (siblings Amy and Jack) to Massachusetts in 1959 settling in Concord, MA. His first acting experiences were with the Concord Players where Spound was in the ensemble of The King and I (1964) and played the role of Billy in King of Hearts (1965). He attended The Fenn School in Concord (1966–1971), Phillips Academy Andover (1971–1975) and graduated Northwestern University after studying Theatre and Film in 1979.
Within six months of arriving in Los Angeles, Spound landed the lead in the Paramount/ABC TV pilot Homeroom (TV series) opposite Ally Sheedy (1981). In the fall of 1981 he and Dana Olsen wrote the feature film Wacko starring Joe Don Baker, Stella Stevens and Andrew Dice Clay. He guest starred in television series Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley (TV series), Family Ties (TV series), and Teachers Only (TV series) in the early '80s. In 1983 he was cast as Dave Kendall in the ABC series Hotel pilot that starred James Brolin, Connie Sellecca and Bette Davis. The pilot was shot at the Fairmont San Francisco Hotel and the series won the favorite drama award at the 10th People's Choice Awards in 1984. Hotel ran for five years (Anne Baxter replaced Bette Davis in the series) and Spound married his co-star and TV wife, Heidi Bohay (Megan Kendall) in 1988.
