Mickey Rourke

Philip Andre Rourke Jr. (born September 16, 1956 in Schenectady, New York) is an iconic American actor.

Speaking His Mind

If there is one thing Rourke is known for in Hollywood, it's his loose mouth. Unafraid to take names and exploit them, Rourke has consistently provided the average moviegoer with a good laugh. For example, recently he slammed "actress" Paris Hilton and claimed she was an insult to the profession. He also is known for holding a continuing grudge against director Barbet Schroeder, who filmed Barfly. According to Rourke, he was an "a--hole."

During the early 1990s, Rourke criticized whoever he thought deserved it. In return he attracted some of his own infamy. Mel Gibson said he was just a wannabe bad boy who was just a poser, for example, and by the mid-1990s his failing career as a boxer and his loose tongue had made him the laughing stock of Hollywood.
