Missing the sweet and gentle Mike. Can´t believe it is three years already....

My costar in "how to Succeed " with Penn State Thespians..a multitude of joyful memories..one time I visited and took balloons many balloons the boys popped them and each other

Thank you 18 years ago our chance meeting set my destiny. Rejection is a 4 letter word!

I just found out about this. I'm so sad. I loved taking classes with him. Great guy. I'll never forget him. Now I will especially treasure the videos that I have from his classes. I hope his happiness, love and contributions to the acting community will forever keep him in the hearts of everyone.

I am so saddened by the passing of Mike. He was a wonderfully warm, encouraging, fun and funny great guy. I had the privilege of knowing him as Casting Director, teacher, employer, but most of all as a confidante and friend. I think I will remember most our watching the Serena Williams/Roberta Vinci tennis match together at his home. Both such fans of tennis, it was great to be with just "Mike' and not with "Mike Lemon, Casting Director." I know we both appreciated that day. I will...

Saddened y the news of Mike's passing. I met Mike very early in my career. He was, and continued to be, a mentor, teacher advisor and friend all through my pursuit of artistic fulfilment. I know there are many, many actors, writers and directors who owe their success and professional accomplishment to Mike's support and encouragement. Requiescat in pace.

He casted me in the movie Voiceless. RIP Mike

Mike was the casting director when M. Night Shyamalan's movie, "Wide Awake" was filmed at Waldron Mercy Academy. He was such a kind, patient, and gentle man, and our students learned so much from him. RIP, Mike.

Thank you Mike for all you did for the Philadelphia Film and TV community. You are loved and will be missed greatly.
