Micky Dolenz Instagram – One day in the spring of 1966, I cut my classes in architecture at LA Trade Tech to take an audition for a new TV show called, “The Monkees”. The co-creator/producer of the show was Bob Rafelson. At first I mistook him for another actor there for the audition as he wasn’t much older than me. Needless-to-say, I got the part and it completely altered my life. Regrettably, Bob passed away last night after a long illness but I did get a chance to send him a message telling him how eternally grateful I was that he saw something in me. Rest in peace, my friend, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. #bobrafelson #themonkees #ripbobrafelson #mickydolenz #michaelnesmith #petertork #davyjones #bertschnieder
