Although he’s not the first actor to play Mouse in the Tales franchise, Bartlett is the first to play Mouse at this stage of the character’s life: on the cusp of 50, in a relationship with a younger man, Ben (played by Charlie Barnett of Russian Doll) and still living at 28 Barbary Lane. The revival series reunites many of the four of the actors from the original, but Bartlett is a new edition. That is, at least, according to Murray Bartlett, the actor who portrays the beloved gay character in the Tales of the City revival, premiering June 7 on Netflix. In this day and age, Michael “Mouse” Tolliver would more likely be on Scruff instead of Grindr, and he would choose Folsom Street Fair over pride. Charlie Barnett with Murray Bartlett (right)
