Mike Anderson is played by Tim Daly.
He is the Constable of Little Tall Island in the TV miniseries Storm of the Century. He is the constable and owns a shop there. He is the only one, who has the guts and integrity to fight André Linoge, but fails, because he is too powerful and the townspeople too scared and corrupt. When Linoge demands a child, it is Mike's that gets picked through a lottery. This causes Mike to divorce his wife Molly Anderson, who supported this and leave the town that endorsed this. He moves to San Francisco and never returned. He became a federal agent. He only has distant contact wth the town, but only to find out about the aftermath of this event, which, as he foresaw, is not good. Several years after these events, Mike sees his son and Linoge in San Francisco again. He calls out to his son and they stop to look back at him. His son then makes eye-contact with him and bares his teeth to him; they are fangs, showing that he is no longer the son he knew and that he is no longer human. He then goes away, implying his wish never to see him again without him being able to do anything about it. This confrontation only strenghtens his resolve never to return to Little Tall Island and to his previous life.
The entire story is told by him after he has experienced all of this and he clearly implies, that his previous life in Little Tall island is over and has now only become a memory for him, condemned to disappear in time.
