### Infinity Train

Owen Dennis recalls Justin Michael as having *the worst* interview he had seen for the show. Despite this, Michael was hired almost immediately for his enthusiasm. After the interview, Justin Michael followed up with a multi-paragraph email to Dennis and Madeline Queripel where he excitedly gave his ideas for the show, such as exploring trauma and focusing on different characters for different seasons.

At his interview Michael was shown an animatic of the pilot. He described seeing the Steward as the thing that most made him want to work on the show: he remembers seeing it and thinking "What is that?!" as it was unlike anything he had ever seen in a science fiction work.

## Trivia

* Justin Michael has been friends with two crew members thanks to the Upright Citizens' Brigade Theatre. Lindsay Katai, who he's known since 2007 and Kirby Howell-Baptiste, who Michael asked that she audition for the role of Grace.
* Justin Michael is a fan of featuring purple lightning in the episodes he writes: he saw it occur once at the Grand Canyon in Arizona and has kept the memory for years. Notable instances where it was used in Justin Michael-written episodes include "The Past Car", "The Color Clock Car", and "The New Apex".
* Michael is the proud creator of Ugly Irwin from "The Corgi Car." As of now, he still considers it to be his "greatest contribution" towards the show.
