(Los Angeles, CA / October 1, 2024) – Award-winning recording artist Mick Blue has landed a role in Netflix‘s hit series Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendezin which an inmate from the Los Angeles County Jail sits next to the infamous brothers.
This exciting opportunity marks Blue’s latest crossover into mainstream media as part of Ryan Murphy’s critically acclaimed anthology series, and according to Blue, his journey to the role came about unexpectedly during a flight to Las Vegas.
“I saw the audition call for a background actor, immediately submitted my audition and three hours later I was booked for the role! It was a quick turnaround,” said Blue, who stands out in his featured scenes set in the prison’s communal showers – particularly the scene where an inmate takes off Lyle Menendez’s toupee and the men around him laugh at it spectacle.
When Blue walked onto the set in April, he was immediately struck by the scale of the production. “I couldn’t believe it when I found out I would be part of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series,” Blue recalls. “It was the first time I spent two and a half hours in makeup getting sticker tattoos. They said to me: ‘You look too nice, let’s get you tattooed!’ It was a really great experience.”
Reflecting on his role, Blue added: “I was lucky enough to be in a featured role where the audience could see me clearly. Often in background roles you’re not that visible, but this time it all came together so quickly. You have to start with those small moments to get to the big moments.
