Micky Dolenz

After selling more than 65 million records worldwide as the star of THE MONKEES TV show, Micky Dolenz has continued to make his mark in other areas of the entertainment business, through his varied career as an actor, director, producer and performer.

Micky was born in Los Angeles on March 8, 1945, in his teens, Micky guest-starred on a number of television shows and also learned to play guitar.

The Monkees audition took place in autumn 1965. Micky was one of four actors chosen out of 400 applicants who responded to a trade ad announcing auditions for a new TV show about rock 'n roll band. The concept was inspired by the Beatles film, A Hard Day's Night. "I was hired as an actor to play the role of a singing drummer," Micky recalls. "I had to learn to play drums."

The Monkees debut single, "Last Train to Clarksville," featured Micky on lead vocals, hit the charts September 10, 1966 and rocketed to number one. Two days later, the television show debuted on NBC to great success.

Ultimately, The Monkees achieved their greatest success as recording artists. Their first four albums (The Monkees; More of the Monkees; Headquarters, and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.) reached number one on the charts and they had three consecutive number one singles: "Clarksville" "I'm a Believer" and "Daydream Believer" The groups first five albums also went gold.

In 1996, The Monkees again joined together this time for a "30 Year Reunion" summer tour around America. The response was such that they toured again the following year, this time finishing up in England. More recently Micky has spent more time behind the camera, including directing for the Michael Jacobs Production ABC/Disney hit TV shows Boy Meets World, staring Ben Savage which aired earlier this year.
