I'd go with Michael. His character was so real to me. Kid was the definition of hopeless and defeated, like many of these knuckleheads are nowadays. He had a lot of potential but said "fukk it" to this life thing.
i can't tell if by the end of the show if he won or not
i mean at his age he did wife a stripper so...
Also another interesting video about casting in that show
