John Leigh as Mick Fa'auigaese
About Mick
Fa'auigaese
Mick is a funny wee guy with a mysterious past and an even more
mysterious present. With no morals to speak of, he's like a human
cockroach, scurrying from one deal to the next and trying at all
costs, to avoid the light.
There are some (like Leighton) who might question the presence of a
convicted con-man in the Fe'ausian royal family, but Mick
Fa'auigaese has the diplomatic passport to say otherwise.
This charming larrikin is, officially, an 'albino adopted second
cousin' of the King. Mick works hard for the good of his King and
his people, often meeting late into the night, with Russian
businessmen who pay in cash, in dark alleyways, outside seedy
nightclubs.
And he only ever takes the most reasonable of Royal Tithes for his
services to his family. He is, officially, the consulate's Economic
Affairs liaison.
