Cinema International Corporation. Rourke starred in Homeboy (1988) as a
punch-drunk and alcoholic boxer who climbs back into the ring to help a
cash-strapped arcade owner. Rourke, born Philp Andre Rourke, Jr. in
Schenectady, New York in 1956, launched his acting career with small
roles in 1941 (1979) and Heaven's Gate (1980) before being noticed
in Body Heat (1981) and Diner (1982). He followed with admirable
work in Rumble Fish (1983) and The Pope of Greenwich
Village (1984), and then gave a bravura performance as
fanatically determined police captain Stanley White in Year of the
Dragon (1985). His 1987 performances in Angel Heart, A
Prayer for The Dying and Barfly attest to his agreeing only to
work with directors and on projects that meet his high standards of acting.
Rourke, who later starred in the infamous 9½ Weeks (1986) and Sin
City (2005), had been trained as a boxer during his younger years,
and he briefly returned to the sport in the 1990s, sparring with such
world champions as James Toney, John David Jackson and Tommy Morrison. Rourke
retired after seven professional bouts, never having a shot at a title, but he
received several facial injuries which required multiple operations. Lightly
scuffed and creased. Lower right corner is missing. Otherwise in fine
condition.
