DAVY JONES DOUBLE: HE'S THE BULGARIAN RICKY MARTIN

DAVY JONES DOUBLE: HE'S THE BULGARIAN RICKY MARTIN

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Playing Davy Jones might be an acting stretch for some, but not 19-year-old George Stanchev. The actor plays Jones in the upcoming VH-1 movie, "Daydream Believers: The Monkees Story," and knows what it's like being a teen idol because he's a big star in his native Bulgaria. In fact, he recently hit No. 1 on the Bulgarian top 40 with a ditty called "Tell Me Is It True," beating out Britney Spears and Ricky Martin for the top spot. Stanchev says his real-life singing career helped him understand Jones but he's bummed he didn't get to sing in any of the scenes -- except for one where Jones' singing is criticized. He isn't sure if producers were trying to tell him something about his own voice, but hopes they were trusting his acting ability. "Daydream Believers: The Monkees Story" debuts June 28.
