Biografie
MICKEY ROURKE was born in Schenectady, New York and grew up in Miami Beach, where he achieved notable success as an amateur boxer, with a streak of 12 successive knockout wins. After a small role in Steven Spielberg's 1941, the first of more than 50 film appearances, he made an early and indelible impact on screen playing the ruthless arsonist in BODY HEAT and the gambling hairdresser in DINER. After becoming a powerful leading man in such films as RUMBLE FISH, THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE, YEAR OF THE DRAGON, NINE ½ WEEKS, ANGEL HEART, A PRAYER FOR THE DYING, JOHNNY HANDSOME and DESPERATE HOURS, he returned to boxing as a professional. Alternating film performances with boxing bouts, under the nickname of El Marielito, he retired undefeated in 1995, after eight pro fights. His resurgent film career has included two films with director Tony Scott, MAN ON FIRE and DOMINO, his acclaimed performance as Marv in Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's SIN CITY and his latest role as a hit man in John Madden's KILLSHOT.
