Melissa Roxburgh's striking similarities with her 'Manifest' character include religious upbringing and being the family's "black sheep"
We all love Michaela Stone for her contented nature and her ability to keep her calm at the most tumultuous times. It seems, however, that the good cop of NBC's 'Manifest' has a lot in common with the actress who plays the character, Melissa Roxburgh. On the show, coming from creator Jeff Rake, Michaela was one of the passengers on the Montego Air Flight 828 which went missing for almost five and a half years.
When Michaela and the others finally made it to the ground, she discovered that her mother was already dead while her fiancé Jared (J.R. Ramirez) had married her best friend, Lourdes (Victoria Cartagena). However, in spite of everything that went wrong in her life, Michaela held on to her integrity and tried to serve her purpose as a servant of society.
