Wikipedia uncovers a little of the origin of Mickey Dolenz start in show biz:

Dolenz was born at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital (now Cedars-Sinai Medical Center), Los Angeles California,[1] the son of actors George Dolenz and Janelle Johnson.

Dolenz began his show business career in 1956 when he starred in a children’s show called Circus Boy under the name Mickey Braddock.[2] In the show, he played an orphaned water boy for the elephants in a one-ring circus at the start of the 20th century. The program ran for two seasons, after which Dolenz made sporadic appearances on network television shows and pursued his education. Dolenz went to Ulysses S. Grant High School in Valley Glen, Los Angeles, California, and graduated in 1962. In 1964, he was cast as Ed in the episode "Born of Kings and Angels" of the NBC education drama series, Mr. Novak, starring James Franciscus as an idealistic Los Angeles teacher. Dolenz was attending college in Los Angeles when he was hired for the "drummer" role in NBC's The Monkees.
