mgk starred as Tommy Lee in the Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt (2019).
He told Entertainment Weekly that he "auditioned for this sh— six times. It was something that as soon as I heard that it was a possibility, I had reached out and I was willing to play a lot smaller roles just to be in the film, because I was such a fan."
After auditioning for the Nikki Sixx role, he was told, "You have the Tommy Lee energy, you should come back and try it as him."
"And then four auditions after that, they gave me the thumbs-up. I'm already tall, lanky, and I have a f— ton of energy, so it just fit."
