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).
