Storm has appeared on many television shows, but is recognized by many for his role as original character Dr. Larry Wolek on the ABCsoap opera, One Life to Live, a role he played as a lead character from 1969 through 1992, and in a recurring capacity continually from 1992 until 2004. In 1978, Storm earned a Daytime Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category,
He was preceded in the role of Larry by his real-life brother, Jim Storm, who, in turn, had been preceded by Paul Tulley. In the storyline, Jim's Larry Wolek was badly burned in a fire and underwent plastic surgery, and Michael's Larry Wolek was revealed when the bandages were removed. This new plot device would prove so successful that many other shows, including Dynasty (and One Life to Live itself in later years), would use it when recasting key characters.[3]
