Circus Boy - Before He was A Monkee

"Circus Boy" was a popular television show that aired from 1956 to 1958. It starred a young Mickey Dolenz, who later became famous as one of the members of the 1960s music group The Monkees.

In "Circus Boy," Dolenz played the character of Corky, a young boy who travels with a circus. The show followed Corky's adventures as he navigated life in the circus, forming bonds with the performers and animals.

While "Circus Boy" was Dolenz's first major role, he later gained widespread fame as a musician and actor with The Monkees, a band created specifically for a television show of the same name. The Monkees quickly became a sensation, achieving chart-topping success with hits like "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm a Believer." Dolenz's time on "Circus Boy" served as a launching pad for his successful entertainment career.
