Although he\u2019s not the first actor to play Mouse in the <em>Tales<\/em> franchise, Bartlett is the first to play Mouse at this stage of the character\u2019s life: on the cusp of 50, in a relationship with a younger <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a>, Ben (played by Charlie Barnett of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/watch-unicorns-bible-thumping-drag-queens-death-dignity-20190207\"><em>Russian<\/em> <em>Doll<\/em><\/a>) and still living at 28 Barbary Lane. Though HIV+, Mouse managed to survive the AIDS crisis, and now struggles with his own questions of aging as his longtime surrogate mother, Anna Madrigal (Olympia Dukakis) celebrates her 90th birthday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We sat down with Bartlett to talk about his portrayal of Mouse and the pressure that comes with taking on such a beloved <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> character to <em>Tales of the City, <\/em>which comes to Netflix June 7.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Why were you interested in being a part of this revival?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It was kind of a dreamy concept really. I have a real affinity with San Francisco, partly because I worked here on Looking, but also because of what San Francisco represents for the community. <em>Tales of the City<\/em> encapsulated this sense of found family and the way that I want the world to be, so being part of this show was very exciting to me.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Had you read the books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I read all the books before we started. Last summer, I was living in Cape Cod and the day after I moved up there, I got the offer for this job. So I was up there for a month and spent the whole time reading.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What about the original series?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019d seen the first season of the show in the \u201990s when I first visited San Francisco. I watched it again the first night we were here on my birthday shooting the pilot for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/looking-weekend-director-andrew-haigh-making-queer-superhero-movie-lovely-20180401\"><em>Looking<\/em><\/a>. Me, Frankie [Alvarez] and Jonathan [Groff] watched <em>Tales of the City<\/em> in my apartment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What were your first impressions of Michael Tolliver?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I just thought he was adorable. He felt very familiar.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How did you balance bringing something new to the role while keeping Michael true to the character that the fans have come to love?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I didn\u2019t re-watch the series before we started shooting because I didn\u2019t want to be too colored by the other actors who have played Michael. But because I\u2019d read the books right before, I really just wanted to try and connect to the essence of him, the way that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/armistead-maupin-revels-queerness-new-tales-city-netflix-20190604\">Armistead Maupin<\/a>\u00a0had written him.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And because a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a> of decades have gone by in the story since the last actor played Michael, a lot has happened. Mouse has gone through a huge journey \u2013 that\u2019s such a cheesy word \u2013 but it\u2019s true. Facing his own mortality, being HIV positive at a time when it felt like a death sentence, and then having the possibility of going beyond that, but at the same time having lost a lot. It\u2019s like you\u2019re almost playing a different character because he\u2019s in such a different stage in his life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/watch-armistead-maupin-and-jake-shears-queen-out-over-tales-of-the-city-musical-20110601\">WATCH: Armistead Maupin and Jake Shears Queen Out Over Tales of the City Musical<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Are there parts of Michael that have stayed the same?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He\u2019s still a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boy<\/a> at heart. He\u2019s got a boyish spirit, and I don\u2019t think that will ever change. And it could have. He could\u2019ve become cynical or been crushed by all the death that was happening around him during the AIDS crisis. And feeling like that was going to be his fate as well.<\/p>\n<figure aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-501129\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/2019\/06\/TOTC_110_Unit_01742R-670x447.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/2019\/06\/TOTC_110_Unit_01742R-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/2019\/06\/TOTC_110_Unit_01742R-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\"><figcaption><em>Murray Bartlett (far left) in \u2018Tales of the City\u2019<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That very strong boyish essence is still very, very strong, but he\u2019s got a depth of experience and some wisdom from what he\u2019s gone through. He\u2019s still that 20-something-year-old dancing on the bar, but he\u2019s certainly matured in a lot of ways.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>That reminds me of that dinner scene with Michael and Ben\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Oh, you\u2019ve seen episode four?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Yeah, I\u2019ve seen it all. It was interesting to see that conversation because it was so nuanced. What do you think of that scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I think it\u2019s beautifully written because it puts the point of view of those different generations so that they\u2019re both right and both wrong. For me anyway, when I read it, I was like, oh, I kind of agree and disagree with both of them. And it\u2019s confusing. It makes you try and figure it out, which I think is very powerful.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Because they both have pain. They both have privilege.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yeah. There is a lot to learn from each other, the younger generation acknowledging the shit that the previous generations went through in terms of an epidemic that was largely ignored for so long. And also the older generation celebrating this new amazing, non-binary generation of people with a different perspective. If they can both listen to each other, it\u2019s a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tales of the City began streaming on Netflix June 7.<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=0HyFIrBr2Vk:snwovzGNiaw:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=0HyFIrBr2Vk:snwovzGNiaw:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.queerty.com\/murray-bartlett-bringing-mouse-life-netflix-tales-city-reboot-20190615?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+queerty2+%28Queerty%29\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.queerty.com\/murray-bartlett-bringing-mouse-life-netflix-tales-city-reboot-20190615?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+queerty2+%28Queerty%29<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murray Bartlett on bringing \u2018Mouse\u2019 to life in Netflix \u2018Tales of the City\u2019 reboot Charlie Barnett with Murray Bartlett (right) In this day and age, Michael \u201cMouse\u201d Tolliver would more likely be on Scruff instead of Grindr, and he would choose Folsom Street Fair over pride.
