Mickey Rourke surely has provided us with some astounding roles and some not so astounding, 1st and foremost he sizzled in his role his 9-1/2 Weeks no question’s about that. There was Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man which was a role along side of Don Johnson, where the Smart Ass Harley blow’s into town (Mickey Rourke) and all hell breaks loose. Actually it bombed at the box offices but it’s worth picking up if you are a Rourke Fan. Wearing a leather clad jacket with the initials SRV on them, caught my eye off the bat, but the date on the roman numerals is incorrect for the Date of Stevie’s Death.
All I am hoping for is to be able to work-I think my best work is still ahead of me-I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor. Mickey Rourke
He has been beaten up, literally, over the years in the boxing ring, and had a career of that produced several movie flops, but still and all he continues to come back to the screen. With the release of The Wrestler, it may just be one of the most fitting roles for the 56 year old.
Here is a video that has Mickey Rourke in it from Enrique Iglesias - Hero - his entire attitude is captured, glad to see one of the goodies come back to stage! He first appears around one minute and 33 seconds

Mickey Rourke is one of my favourite screen actors - always with an air of sexual danger about him. My favourite movie is “Angel Heart” … he was great in it and exactly right for the character.
It’s just a shame that he and others have resorted to plastic surgery. The boy has gone and a satyr-like version remains. Fay Dunaway has done the same thing, with “trout-pout” lips.
It surprises me that either of them have been threatened by age…which could only have improved them, considering their type.
