At the age of ten, she migrated to the United States with her mother and two siblings. Living in Maryland and later Washington, DC, Michael slowly adjusted to the American way of life. She went on to study acting at Howard University for her undergraduate degree and continued at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts for her Masters. Before Michael's work in film and television, she enjoyed memorable performances on stages throughout the country, most notably is her experience on Broadway in the critically acclaimed Ragtime. Although Michael is automatically considered an African-American, because of her international background she eagerly acknowledges that she is more specifically an African\/British\/Jamaican\/American and any attempt to exclude any part of that reality would be an incorrect representation of who she truly is. The actress Michael Hyatt has been a part of some of the television\u2019s most iconic series \u2013 from \u201cThe West Wing,\u201d to \u201cThe Wire,\u201d \u201cTrue Detective,\u201d and a hilarious role on the web series \u201cCrazy Ex-Girlfriend.\u201d Her recent turn on the silver screen was in \u201cNight Crawler,\u201d starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Hyatt currently stars as Detective Sheila Muncie on the award-winning Showtime drama series \u201cRay Donovan,\u201d  Also the New FX's Snowfall - John Singleton &  Short Film -Dara Ju.
