Mick Blue Appears in Netflix’s ‘Monsters: the Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’

LOS ANGELES — Mick Blue is appearing in Netflix’s hit series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” portraying a Los Angeles County Jail inmate serving time alongside the infamous brothers.

The opportunity to be part of Ryan Murphy’s critically acclaimed true crime anthology series marks Blue’s latest foray into mainstream acting, following his recent appearance on the longest-running American soap opera currently in production, “General Hospital.”

The 2022 XBIZ Male Performer of the Year also described the unusually speedy process that landed him the part.

“I was on a flight from Vegas,” he reminisced. “I saw the audition call for a featured background actor, immediately sent in my audition, and three hours later I was booked for the role. It was a fast turnaround.”

One of the highlights of the show for him is one his featured scenes in the jail’s communal showers, where an inmate pulls off Lyle Menendez’s toupee and the men surrounding him laugh at the spectacle.

Stepping onto the set in April, Blue was immediately struck by the scale of the production. “It was my first time spending two-and-a-half hours in makeup to get sticker tattoos. They told me, ‘You look too nice — let’s get you tatted!’ It was a really great experience.”

Reflecting on his role, Blue added, “I was lucky to be in a featured part where the audience can clearly see me. Often in background roles, you’re not as visible, but this time, it all came together so quickly. You have to start with those little moments to get to the big ones.”

Blue told XBIZ that it would be interesting to see how the Menendez brothers story develops “especially after a new documentary comes out and brings more light to it. I’m a huge fan of the show. Cooper Koch and Nicholas Alexander Chavez are tremendous actors and Ryan Murphy is definitely one of the icons in the industry. I’m honored to have worked on one of his projects.”

With his “Monsters” appearance, Blue joins Kim Kardashian (“American Horror Story: Delicate”) in a hopefully growing roster of adult video stars who have appeared on Ryan Murphy’s popular television series.
