NEW YORK, July 14 (UPI) -- Micky Dolenz will appear in the U.S. television movie "Mega Python vs Gatoroid," opposite his fellow former pop icons Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, Syfy said.

Dolenz was a member of the 1960s music group The Monkees and co-starred in a TV sitcom named for the band for two seasons. Tiffany and Gibson were 1980s teen singing sensations.

Syfy's Saturday Original Movie "Mega Python vs Gatoroid" is currently filming in Los Angeles.

In it, there's a crisis in the Florida Everglades as giant pythons are threatening the alligator population. Gibson portrays a fanatical animal rights advocate who frees illegally imported exotic snakes from pet stores, sending them into the Everglades where the pythons become mega-sized. Tiffany plays an over-zealous park ranger worried about the growing ecological damage. To save her beloved alligators, she employs dangerous methods, setting off a war between the species -- and putting her on a collision course with Gibson. Dolenz portrays a celebrity singer hired by Tiffany for her fundraiser to save the Everglades, Syfy said in a synopsis Wednesday.
