Marcus D'Amico

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcus D'Amico (b. December 4, 1965) is an actor best known to US audiences for his role as Michael "Mouse" Tolliver in the original Tales of the City PBS miniseries in 1994.

The role of Michael Tolliver was recast for the subsequent Tales of the City miniseries sequels, More Tales of the City and Further tales of the City. According to the series' author Armistead Maupin, "Despite the rumors, it is not true that Marcus D'Amico wasn't invited back because of issues surrounding his sexuality. The production team met with Marcus and he expressed 'ambivalence' about returning to the role of Mouse. The director felt it was important to find someone who would enthusiastically embrace the role." [1]

D'Amico was born in Germany to an American father and a British mother, and was raised in the United Kingdom.

D'Amico has also appeared in the UK soap opera Family Affairs and guest-starred on the black comedy Murder Most Horrid.
