MICKEY ROURKE - LHW (1991-1994) Overall Rating = 1
Hometown - Schenectady, New York, USA
6(5)-0-2
Rourke, a self-proclaimed tough guy and Hollywood actor, briefly tried his hand at boxing. Fighting in the USA as well as Japan, Spain and Germany, Rourke faced professional opponents Terry Jesmer, Darrell Miller and an assortment of other stiffs. He managed to escape the experiment without a loss at the age of 38 and resumed his acting career.
Rourke has been in a number of films including Fade to Black, Body Heat, The Pope of Greenwich Village, The Thin Red Line and Sin City. At 49 years of age, he is thankfully too old to give boxing another shot.

*** I did not know that he was from Schenectady which is about an hour east of me. He was good in "Spun" with Brittany Murphy, John Leguizamo, and Mena Suvari.
I heard a story once that he was sparring with Thomas Hearns and was fooling around until Hearns knocked him out with a right hand ending the sparring session.
