In 2011, Michele can be seen on the big screen in three feature films: "The Last Godfather", starring Harvey Keitel, is a mobster ridden period comedy set in 1951 New York in which Michele plays 'Roxie' - burlesque club owner and girlfriend to Keitel's 2nd in command Tony V, played by Michael Rispoli. "Politics of Love" is a romantic comedy starring Loretta Devine, Brian White, and Gerry Bednob in which Michele plays dirt digging political reporter 'Liz Moore', and the action thriller "Through the Eye" - co-starring Tom Sizemore. Past film credits include "The Movie Hero" starring Peter Stormare and Jeremy Sisto, "Project Boyfriend" and "Keller and Sullivan" with Liam Sullivan, as well as "Deliverance, the Musical" and "Boobles the Stripper Clown" based on characters Michele created for the well known LA based sketch comedy group "Another Showcase Showdown" (A.S.S.), in which she has written for, and performed with regularly for the last 8 years.
