Title: The Wrestler
Post by: Ripsnort on September 08, 2008, 01:01:25 PM
Rourke plays this lead role of the Film Festival winner. I'll definately watch it just because of Rourke playing the leading role. I really like Rourke as an actor. Why doesn't hollywood pick him up more often for bigger flicks??

Cause he's not Will Smith?   

I recall reading something once about him, saying he had a hard time getting movies cause he had/or has too much additional baggage... liked him in "Man on Fire"

He did beat the crap out of his G/F in '94, and got a DUI in Miami in 2003...hell, he'd fit right in with the Hollyweird crowd! :D  I like the "Anti-hero" personna that he tends to get lead roles in.

yea, Nolte's probably got him beat on rap sheets, hell look at Robert Downy Jr...
The stuff I was thinking of was earlier, like before "Harley Davidson and the Malboro Man" or "Heart something or other" with that girl from the Cosby show

Cause he's an (I could tell you why in two words but Skuzzy woudlnt like it)

He's done OK in the few movies I've seen him in
I liked him in The Pope of Greenwich Village. Though he wasnt involved in the best scene of the movie ("officer down Officer needs assistance. Hurry!")
MUST SEE

But he's alot like Cruise.
Same character in every movie

BTW he's done something like 60 films
