In the summer of 1967, Blodgett was the emcee on "Groovy", a weekly TV program of beach party music that was broadcast on Los Angeles' Channel 9. In 1968, Michael subsequently switched to Channel 11 and went on to serve as the host for "The Michael Blodgett Show", a 90 minute talk show in which he interviewed such guests as Connie Stevens, Agnes Moorehead, Pat Paulsen and Henry Mancini. He made his film debut as a beach bum in A Swingin' Summer (1965). Blodgett achieved his greatest enduring cult popularity with his excellent portrayal of blithely decadent and hedonistic playboy "Lance Rocke" in Russ Meyer's outrageously campy treat El valle de los placeres (1970). Other memorable movie roles include brash young prisoner "Coy Cavendish" in El día de los tramposos (1970), free-spirited hippie "Lee Ritter" in the offbeat fright feature The Velvet Vampire (1971), and abusive masseur "Roger Hudson" in Diagnóstico: asesinato (1972). Blodgett had a recurring role on the short-lived TV series Never Too Young (1965). Among the TV shows Michael did guest spots on are Barco a la vista (1962), La hora de Alfred Hitchcock (1962), La familia Monster (1964), Daniel Boone (1964), Night Gallery (1969), Ironside (1967), Barnaby Jones (1973) and Costa Bárbara (1975). Blodgett quit acting in the late 70s and became a successful novelist and screenwriter. He penned the novels "Captain Blood", "Hero and the Terror" and "The White Raven". In addition, he either wrote or co-wrote the scripts for the Chuck Norris action vehicle El héroe y el terror (1988) (Michael also makes an uncredited cameo appearance in this particular picture), the hit comedy Socios y sabuesos (1989), Chicago en rojo (1987), Run, perseguido por todos (1991), the made-for-TV thriller Venganza sobre ruedas (1992) and El cuervo blanco (1998).
