In the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake, which actor played Michael?

Jake Weber played Michael in the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake.

Michael is a police officer who joins Ana and other survivors during the rapidly spreading outbreak. Weber’s performance gives the character a restrained, practical personality as the group attempts to survive inside a suburban shopping mall surrounded by increasingly aggressive zombies.

The 2004 film was directed by Zack Snyder in his feature-film debut. It is a remake of George A. Romero’s 1978 Dawn of the Dead, but the two movies differ substantially in character relationships, pacing, visual style, and zombie behavior. Snyder’s version is especially known for depicting fast-moving zombies rather than Romero’s slower undead.

The cast also includes Sarah Polley as Ana, Ving Rhames as Kenneth, and Michael Kelly as C.J. The screenplay was written by James Gunn, who later became known for directing the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
