The night Billy Campbell kissed me ...(GIF via GIPHY) I'm sorry for a third obit in a row, but Marcus D'Amico, the actor who so charmingly brought Mouse to life in the original Tales of the City series, died December 16 at the young age of 55.
His cause of death is pneumonia, with no mention of any underlying conditions or COVID-19 in the Queerty write-up. D'Amico was born December 4, 1965, in Frankfurt, Germany.
Though he appeared in small parts in the films Superman II (1980) and Full Metal Jacket (1987), he was primarily a stage actor.
As winsome Michael “Mouse” Tolliver in Tales of the City in 1993, he helped anchor what was at the time one of the most controversial pieces ever aired on TV; the miniseries hit the U.S.
