Welcome to the Mick Fitzgerald website.
Mick Fitzgerald is an actor, musician and writer. This
site is more or less a log which will be updated from
time to time. A space will be provided at the end to relay
the latest on movies in progress (he starred in “Death’s
Mailing” which came second in the Galway Film Festival).
There will also be updates on a new CD (the first track
is in the
can). His first CD “Light
Sleeper” is still selling quite well (more
info later).
Mick trained in Theatre in the 1970s and had more or
less given it up for Journalism and Music. In 2000 he
got a bit part as a musician in a movie called “How Harry
Became a Tree”. The “Bug” bit again and after three years
as an extra he got his actor’s Equity card again. Things
have chugged along nicely ever since in movies and in
music.
We’ll start the log with an account of Mick’s last days
as an “extra” and “re-enactor” before getting his full
Equity. It was on the movie “King Arthur” and the following
piece was written by Mick and published in the “Irish
Independent” newspaper in July 2004.
Part of the Pinewood Studios section of Mick's King Arthur
piece which follows, was used in his book "The
Pinewood Story" by Gareth Owen (re-published
September 2006).
