Now, you'd think that would be a heartwarming moment—and it was—but Michael's reaction to seeing his parents was absolutely priceless. This whole scene unfolded earlier this week, and it’s the kind of story that makes you smile. Let me paint the picture for you.
In videos shared on their Instagram Stories, Michael, who’s all of 21, is seen opening the door to his trailer, clearly caught off guard. His expression says it all: total surprise and confusion. “Oh… hi,” he says, greeting his mom and dad with a mix of disbelief and amusement. Then, Mark, ever the excited parent, jumps in with, “Hi!

Michael Joins the Cast of 'Riverdale'
Just a few weeks ago, it was announced that Michael would be joining the cast of CW’s 'Riverdale' for its third season. Now, here's the fun twist: Michael’s character is none other than a younger version of Mark’s role, Hiram Lodge. Imagine that—father and son playing the same character at different ages! It’s like a real-life time travel movie, only better because it’s happening right now on one of TV’s hottest shows.
Of course, Kelly couldn’t resist adding a playful note when she congratulated Michael on Instagram. “Congrats, Michael, on being cast as young Hiram Lodge on ['Riverdale'],” she wrote. “However, Mark and I would like to take this opportunity to remind you and your siblings that as your fiduciaries, we are hereby entitled to 10 percent of all future earnings hereto wit, or something like that.” Talk about mixing business with family pride!
