Michael Bay
Michael Benjamin Bay (born February 17, 1965) is an American filmmaker. He is known for directing big-budget action films characterized by fast edits, stylistic visuals and extreme use of special effects, including frequent depiction of explosions. His films, which include the science fiction disaster thriller ''Armageddon'' (1998), the epic war film ''Pearl Harbor'' (2001) and the science fiction action films in the ''Transformers'' film series (2007–present), have grossed over worldwide.〔; grosses for films released since 2009 added in July 24, 2014〕 He is co-founder of commercial production house The Institute, a.k.a.

Despite his considerable success at the international box office, Bay has received mixed to negative reviews for his work from film critics. While his films such as ''The Rock'', ''The Island'', ''Pain & Gain'', and ''Transformers'' received mildly positive reviews by critics and audiences, his three sequels in the ''Transformers'' film series were panned by critics, as were ''Pearl Harbor'', the ''Bad Boys'' films, and ''Armageddon''.
==Early life==
Michael Bay was born in Los Angeles, California. He was raised by his adoptive parents Harriet, a bookstore owner/child psychiatrist, and Jim, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). He was raised Jewish.〔(Michael Bay ) Jewish Virtual Library - retrieved July 23, 2013〕 His grandfather was from Russia. His cousin, Susan Bay, is the widow of the late ''Star Trek'' actor Leonard Nimoy (whom he eventually cast as the voice actor for Sentinel Prime in ''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''). He attended the exclusive Crossroads School, in Santa Monica, California. Bay often traces his interest in action films back to an incident during his childhood. As a boy, he attached some firecrackers to a toy train and filmed the ensuing fiery disaster with his mother's 8 millimeter camera. The fire department was called and he was grounded.
