George Michael "Micky" Dolenz, Jr. (born March 8, 1945) is an American actor, musician, television director, radio personality and theater director, best known as the drummer and principal lead singer of the 1960s pop/rock band the Monkees.
Dolenz was born at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital (now Cedars-Sinai Medical Center), in Los Angeles, California, the son of actors George Dolenz and Janelle Johnson.
Dolenz began his show business career in 1956 when he starred in a children’s show called Circus Boy under the name Mickey Braddock. He played an orphaned water boy for the elephants in a one-ring circus at the start of the 20th century. The program ran for two seasons, after which Dolenz made sporadic appearances on network television shows and pursued his education. Dolenz went to Ulysses S. Grant High School in Valley Glen, Los Angeles, California, and graduated in 1962. In 1964, he was cast as Ed in the episode "Born of Kings and Angels" of the NBC education drama series, Mr. Novak, starring James Franciscus as an idealistic Los Angeles teacher. Dolenz was attending college in Los Angeles when he was hired for the "drummer" role in NBC's The Monkees.
Actors: Howard Braunstein (producer), Michael Jaffe (producer), Wallace Langham (actor), Lynn Josephson Delaney (miscellaneous crew), Katie Griffin (actress), Avi Federgreen (miscellaneous crew), Polly Shannon (actress), Neill Fearnley (director), Fred Mollin (composer), Stephen Lawrence (editor), Elaine Yarish (miscellaneous crew), Colin Ferguson (actor), Peter Tork (actor), Susan Murdoch (producer), Ron McGee (writer),
Plot: In 1966, producers Bert Schneider and Bob Rafaelson come up with the idea of creating a TV show that would feature the American answer to the Beatles, The Monkees. Eventually, four young men are chosen for the roles, Mickey Dolenz the former child TV star, the stage actor Davey Jones and the musicians, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork. With the aid of a successful music producer and able TV promotion, the Monkees become a sensation. However, that success is tainted, to the chagrin of the band, as they find themselves labeled as talentless phonies. This film covers the band's frustrating struggle to prove their detractors wrong as they struggle to earn some artist legitimacy. Whether it's by learning to excel as a band or experimenting with wild ideas for their show and film, Head, nothing seems to work. Meanwhile the band have their internal tensions as various members struggle to decide what is really important to them, simple material success, or having real artistic respect for their work?

Illeana Douglas asks Micky Dolenz about early television and the development of The Monkees TV show. Lots of discussion about the sets, shooting locations, and the exhausting schedule of filming a TV show. Because of where this interview occurred the conversation is heavily weighted toward Hollywood topics, not music. Micky is joined by Rhino producers Andrew Sandoval and John Hughes who discuss Good Times! and the Blu-Ray restoration, including financing and production elements. August 13, 2016
