Mikey, 29, tells TV WEEK that his Summer Bay appearances were back when he was 20 or 21.

Mikey found fame tying the knot with Natasha on MAFS – but it’s not his first TV role
(Image: Channel Nine)“They’d say, ‘We need four or five people in the diner scene,’ so you’d do that,” he remembers.
He says there were times that he was asked to say “a few lines”, including one occasion where he was in a hospital scene, in bed.
“There was a big argument between two people and I was supposed to say, ‘Oh, hey guys, I’m the one that’s sick,’ or something like that.”
Back then, Mikey was hoping to join the cast of Home And Away.
“When I was younger, that’s what I wanted to do. I was like, ‘That’s the show that I want to be on.‘ But it never eventuated.”
WATCH: Mikey also once tried his luck on game show Deal or No Deal. Story continues below…

Could Mikey have been the next big Home and Away star?
(Image: Channel Seven)Mikey did end up scoring a substantial role in the ABC’s 2017 miniseries Friday On My Mind, which was based on the true story of The Easybeats. He was cast as Jigger, who was “a bit of a bully” to members of the band. But then he had some bad luck.
“I was supposed to be in about five episodes,” he explains. “But I play rugby and the filming was the week after, and on the Saturday, I lacerated some nerves in my face. My face blew up, so they couldn’t use me for all the scenes, so I only ended up keeping one or two. It wasn’t to be.”
So is there a chance that Mikey could end up with his dream role on Home And Away now?
“We’ll see!”
