A lot of people were coming up to him and asking for pictures and stuff, and he seemed very gracious. He was talking with them, laughing, posing for pictures, seemed like he was having a good time. Don't know how long it went on for because I went inside, and I don't like to be the kind of person to mob a celebrity.....but looking back it would have been very cool to have a picture of myself with Mickey Rourke.

So we all need to encourage Mickey Rourke to be who he is RANDY the RAM.

I met Mickey Rourke over 30-years ago, when he still looked normal. He was very easy to talk to, very open and honest. That was the problem... he was TOO honest. Even then he complained very vocally about the negative aspects of working in Hollywood-and of of course he was right-but he stepped on too many big toes for his own good, and it cost him dearly, sad to say. I think he was one of the greatest actors who ever lived.

He is one of the most versatile and underrated actors I've ever seen. Loved him in Barfly also. It's actually a dark comedy with a great plot. He was hilarious! In Angel Heart you get to see his range of emotions that so many actors lack and can't pull off. And of course his performance in The Wrestler was Oscar worthy. When Mickey cries I feel his pain. You can't fake that. Besides Pacino, he's probably the only actor I would ask for an autograph if I ever met him. He's one of the greats in my opinion.

After meeting and talking, I stood off to the side, as the guy behind me, had my camera, to take a video and picture with my camera, so while waiting, and Rourke waiting for that guy, Rourke turned to his left, he looked at me, and Nodded and winked!

The Wrestler is one of my favorite movies and Ive only watched it once so far but it really spoke to me as a musician and Mickey's character went through a lot of similar stuff Ive gone through in my own life and career so far. His attitude in that movie is just perfect for someone that doesnt feel like a regular person in society. If there are any ppl reading this that are in a creative or athletic endeavor, this movie is for you!!!

I've never admired or worshipped an actor like I did Mickey Rourke in the eighties. I kept the faith as best as I could, despite his many attempts at self-sabotage and REALLY bad cosmetic surgery. I had three huge posters of him on the walls of my bedroom when I was in high school, the way some people did with James Dean and Marlon Brando. I diligently watched every one of his films, even going back to Fade To Black, and Spielberg's 1941. I found that even though he made so many crap career choices, his winning streak in the eighties was a staggeringly untouchable thing of beauty, and no one could beat this guy. He still does the occasional bit of good stuff (Sin City and The Wrestler was a very brief return to greatness), but I actually get angry at his ravaged visage, straggly hair, and raspy voice. He's one of the few movie stars who should have loved himself a little. :(

He nailed it in the Wrestler !!! He could have been one the Hart brothers ! His passion in his acting comes from his passionate life . Overcoming the troubles in his childhood to become what he wanted . The dedication needed to sell the part . Under rated because he was human and felt pain . Keep him working , he's not done .

Had a huge crush on Mickey as a child in the late 80s/early 90s. I definitely saw body heat way too young. Over a decade later Sin city became one of my favorite films and saw it in theaters 5 or 6 times and watched it numerous times on DVD. Never realized that Marv was the same guy I crushed on as a kid. When I realized it my mind was blown.

He's the perfect example of what happens to someone who grew up under an abusive atmosphere. If anything, it makes you love the guy more. He calls out the things which others only see many years later, through his own life experience of swimming through the sewer.

In his prime he really looked like a hybrid between Bruce Willis and Russell Crowe (but hotter than both put together). Heck just looking at him now just surprises me that this was once apparently the original Christian Gray (in 9 and 1/2 weeks). The guy's literally the real life version of Clayface (from BTAS) at this point.

"Ashby" was actually fantastic and Mickey's work in it is spectacular. It was not a success, financially, but it is one of his best films in recent years. We get to see his comedic acting chops which is rare and the chemistry between him and Nat Wolff makes the whole thing a treat to watch. I don't think it belongs on the list of duds at all.
