Mikey/Stephen zone02-09-02 news EXCLUSIVE Mikey Snatches Movie Role... Finding yourself blowing out the candles on your 30th birthday cake can be one serious ordeal. Especially when you have made your name in Ireland's biggest boyband... And recently broke up with your girlfriend, nearly ended up bankrupt and are trying to get your big acting break. However, the former quietman of Boyzone, Mikey Graham, recently found himself in this position and now seems to be coming out the better of it. Speaking to ShowBizireland.com this week Mikey confessed that things really could have only get better after his run of bad luck. "It's been a hard over the past few years for me. But, now everything seems to be working out. I am just about to follow in Keith's (Duffy) footsteps. Last week I started work on my very first acting role. I got a great part in a Guy Ritchie style movie. Its called Hey Mister DJ and we start filming full time this month. He went on, "I play a henchman to the movie's lead actor Mike Reed, who stared in Guy Ritchie's movie Snatch and also stared in Eastenders for years." But, what of the current state of Mikey's love life? "Unfortunately, I've recently broken up with my long term girlfriend. She was a dancer and we were together for a few years. So, it's weird to be single again and back out there. I'm still hoping we might get back together as we are still great friends and still in contact all the time but I guess only time will tell. For the moment I'm keeping myself busy writing some new songs and working with a new agent in London, who takes care of the likes Joan Collins. She is getting me some really great auditions so hopefully 2003 will be a great year for me."
