Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

I recently learned about a local, non profit organization which I was happy to help spread the word about. The founder of the organization asked if I would say a few nice things about the organization, so I did. Later, he posted a video of our "interview" and an altered quote on his website with my name and work information. My work asked me to have it removed, seeing as how the way he altered the quote made it speak negatively about another organization. After this encounter I decided this obviously wasn't an organization I wanted to be associated with. I emailed, called, and messaged him on YouTube and Facebook to attempt to get this information removed. The conversation has now turned ugly and he has become intimidating and refuses to remove the information. In fact, he has changed the name associated with the quote but he has left my work information and my very specific job title. I did not sign a consent or release to use my information. Is my asking him to remove it enough? Do I have a case against him? Is this something that I could issue a cease and desist letter for? I don't know what further action to take and I am now fearful he will take action against me, or my employer will take action against me.
