While I'm not a fan of his schtick, he is a serious and good performer.
One thing I have noticed recently is his "take charge" attitude when he is in a scene with multiple other men. I don't know what the supposed "director" is doing, but Mike will actively position the girl and turn to the guys and chide them..."what are you waiting for, get in here," and they will follow his direction. he keeps the action hot and going. His instincts on direction seem to be good, and center on good visibility to the camera and keeping the action going. That's good and missing in many of LP scenes.
I would like to see him try his hand at direction, both the action and the camera work. He can be in front of or behind the scene.
I realize the reason I don't particularly like 5:1, 10:1, etc. There is lots of WASTED screen time, repositioning the men to each have a turn, then the position changes and more wasted time. With fewer men, each position lasts far longer, and is generally shot better with a lessened need to reframe or move the camera. My preference, though not the only one of my prefs, is a threesome, BGG or BBG. I think in those Mike especially excels.
