	Mickey Rourke - Biography - Moviefone
		Rourke launched his thesp career with small roles in 1941 (1979) and Heaven's Gate (1981) before gaining broader notice as a pyro expert in Body Heat (1981) and one of the leads in Barry Levinson's Diner (1982).
		Although Rourke's career consisted primarily of direct-to-video titles for several years, he had enough friends and respect among his contemporaries that he hung on to his rebound potential, and his small role in Francis Ford Coppola's 1997 adaptation of John Grisham's The Rainmaker marked something of a comeback.
		Rourke was married to Debra Feuer from 1981-89 and Wild Orchid co-star Carre Otis from 1992-1998.

	Mickey Rourke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rourke, who trained as a boxer in his early years, also had a short stint as a professional boxer in the 1990s.
		Rourke was born into an Irish Catholic family and claims to have grown up in the neighborhoods of heavily African-American Liberty City in Miami.
		Rourke's time in the early 1990s with Hell's Angels and Tupac Shakur and his stint as a boxer gave him a gritty, street-wise credibility in his role as a bounty hunter.

	Mickey Rourke's desperate truths - Salon
		Rourke's career is notable for the heady price he paid for his eccentricities, the most expensive of which being that his credibility as an actor was labeled with a scarlet question mark.
		Rourke appears to have both of those qualities; it's an equation that spells temporary magic on-screen and usually results in terrible suffering off-screen.
		Rourke broke through in 1981, Brad-Pitt-in-"Thelma and Louise"-esquely, as an arsonist in the sweaty erotic thriller "Body Heat." His tough-guy posturing and glowering, pretty-boy menace made the Hollywood Beast think he might come in handy for a while.

	Mickey Rourke's desperate truths - Salon
		It's not all his fault; Basinger comes off so shrill, moronic and embarrassing that at a certain point you are rooting for Mickey to hit her with a belt (Basinger is said to have referred to her costar, for unspecified reasons, as "the human ashtray").
		Rourke comes off as ugly and jaded in "9-1/2 Weeks" in a way that suggests a deeper level of psychic disease than his character alone is responsible for.
		Rourke is most universally beloved for his portrayal of Charles Bukowski's alter ego Henry Chinaski in "Barfly." While a bit over the top, the role is funky, ugly and lovable in a way his other characters were not.

		All the controversy over his career aside -- in 1989 he donated part of his earnings from the film Francesco to the IRA and in 1994 he was arrested by the LAPD and charged with spousal abuse -- he's really shone in some films as a sort of soft-spoken thug.
		In fact, it didn't surprise anyone when Rourke put acting aside to take up boxing in the late '80s.
		Rourke won his first professional boxing bout in 1991 under the name of Marielito.

	Mickey Rourke at Hollywood.com
		Rourke first came to attention with his roles in two films by emerging young directors; he played a professional arsonist in Lawrence Kasdan's "Body Heat" (1981) and a debt-ridden hairdresser/lothario in Barry Levinson's "Diner" (1982).
		Rourke's Motorcycle Boy in Francis Ford Coppola's screen version of S.E. Hinton's "Rumble Fish" (1983), was sort of a James Dean gone to seed, an addled eccentric whose fragility is clearly visible.
		Rourke re-teamed with Rodriguez when the director tapped him to play the iconic Marv, one of the antiheroes from writer-artist Frank Miller's crime noir comic book series "Sin City," which Rodriguez and Miller turned into a visually arresting 2005 film.

	Profile: Mickey Rourke \| Features \| Guardian Unlimited Film
		The acting part is no great stretch - it's all the stuff around the acting that's hard for guys like Rourke: the agenting, the career decisions, the choice of domestic partner or night-time activities, the proper demeanour to adopt in the presence of journos and paparazzi, and so on.
		Mickey failed all these tests, and did so under the harshest of public spotlights, throwing tizzies in nightclubs, carrying on with his many chihuahuas, his unsuitable friends, who included bonehead Tupac Shakur and incarcerated mob boss John Gotti (whose trial Rourke attended), and any number of street hoods and Hell's Angels.
		This struggle between street-schooled manliness and actorly femininity is at the core of Rourke's on-screen appeal; they are also the source of all the conflict and confusion in his private life.

		Rourke spends almost all of his time at the bar, struggling with sobriety (he's against it) and, occasionally, having fistfights with the bartender (Frank Stallone).
		Downtrodden writer Henry (Mickey Rourke) and distressed goddess Wanda (Faye Dunaway) aren't exactly husband and wife: they're wedded to their bar stools.
		Afterall, Rourke is an East Coast type, but he managed to fit himself to the role in fine gusto, taking on the persona of Bukowski in his early years in LA. Bukowski considered Faye Dunaway one of the last big-time Hollywood actresses, and speaks of her affectionately throughout his book.
