" The dogs were there.. when nobody else was there ".. makes me cry. Much love to Mickey.

The Wrestler is a masterpiece of a film and I can't imagine any other actor who would've been better in it than Mickey

Micky is real . He's loved by real people . If you treated him with respect , he's a good friend .

There's always been something about Mickey that set him apart and made him unforgettable. It's that illusive quality and Light that surrounds him and makes him shine. He is Golden.

Mickey Rourke is remarkable Actor. A True Hollywood Legend.

A Mickey Rourke documentary. Wow. Never thought there would be one. One of the best male actors.

the last fifteen minutes in Angel heart haunts me, because his performance is so real and deep, one of the greatest actors that ever lived.

Angel heart was one of the most atmospheric films I’ve ever seen

One of the most underrated actors of all time.

I met Mickey Rourke back in 2016 at Cafe Roma in Beverly Hills, he gave me a big brother hug and treated me like a family member, very affectionate and super polite. I love him 😍😘

Mickey lives his life doing what he wants and loves. That's the way you should live your life.

LOVE MICKEY! I met him in CA. He is a true gentleman. He is humble, down to earth and did not let the life style of hollywood affect who he is as a human being. He is a remarkable human being! I wish I meet more people like him...

I wish him the VERY BEST. Life is tough he did the best he could with his circumstances.

My heart still flutters when I see him or here his voice.

I respect his brutal honesty. Sounds like a down to earth person I’d want for a true friend. He’s above the Hollywood BS. Really enjoy his acting skills. Interesting man for sure.

I really love him. He is so TRUE spoken....a breath of fresh air. ❤

His performance as Randy the Ram in the Wrestler is fantastic! He really owned that one

Even as a kid in the late 90s i knew this dude was a great actor and talent. He had that swagger

Regardless of his “issues”, there is no denying this man’s talent. Yes, he’s obviously been “troubled”, but, he’s still here and there is something to be said for his survival skills. Someone I know who knew him at the Actors Studio said he came from a troubled background and he freely talks about it. He has created some very honest and memorable characters and he deserves his respect. Hollyweird is no joke and sensitive artist are constantly abused and discarded. Just imagine being humiliated in from of the whole world, I can only imagine how that must feel.

This was a very well put together documentary, I really enjoyed it! I personally have always admired Mickey, as far back as The Pope of Greenwich Village! Who couldn't respect him for his honesty and his heart. He's one in a million!!

Mickey is one of life's eccentrics, but he seems to have a good heart. My feeling is you don't want to cross him, but as a friend he'll really fight your corner.

I thought of Rourke as just another beefed up steroid old guy with a plastic face but boy he has been a revelation. Respect for his honest choice of words. I hope he finds the peace every person deserves. He strikes me now as a very good soul. Amazing documentary.

Besides his ever changing face, his voice also got deep. He is and was a great actor.

A guy who's truly lived life. Amazing what you can do when you dedicate your life to yourself and not kids. Legend.

Great video. I have an undying respect for Micky Rourke. I can relate to him and his inability to keep his mouth shut. A true rebel of Hollywood. As real as they come.

"Trust gets killed, Love gets you hurt, and being real(honest) gets you hated." Being honest is a path in life whether its brutal honesty or being a nice guy, either way, its a curse you live with or just learn to avoid it.

Met Mickey in Chicago years ago. Decent guy..clearly hated Hollywood and had no problem naming the leeches who actually run the film industry.

I've always heard that Mickey Rourke "gave up Hollywood"...and then I checked his filmography a few years ago. There's no gap. This dude has done at least 1 movie every year since he started. reminds me of that mitch hedberg joke "I used to do drugs...I still do but I used to too."

I'll keep it short because enough has been said. Brilliant doco on Mickey YK Film Boy. Absolutely loved it. I've followed MR over his career and loved so many of his early and late films in his career. He gives his heart in every film like it's a boxing match. Thanks for sharing and I've subscribed.

I can relate to Mickey Roarke's childhood. My father abused me on a daily basis as my mother worked at the hospital constantly. I hated him for all the abuse and to this day still will never admit it. My teen years was rough. I used benzos and coke during high school it was an ugly drug combo to kick. Finally did by riding horses more and dancing at a local dance studio. Been sober for almost 20 years once I hit 37 in october this year.

micky is one of the best actors ever to hit the screen, i saw him at chelsea, he looked sad and that broke my heart because he's foreal, love him, hollywood would loose if they close the doors on mick.

Oh my God he was the most beautiful man in Hollywood so sweet eyes and smile, beautiful body and gentle voice. I was dreaming about him almost every night. Big kisses for him 😘😘😘

I love MR forever, his own man through the years, great artist, love from Ireland

He's an incredible actor. He should be so much famous and recognized. Pope of Greenwich village, Rumble Fish, Angel heart, Barfly, Johnny Handsome, Bullet, Animal factory, The Wrestler.

I love Mickey Rourke's movies and he's one of the very few stars of any kind that I actually like as a person.

Loved his performance in The Pope Of Greenich Village. Also his performance in The Wrestler was phenomenal.Amazing actor and real stand up guy which is rare in today's world .

Loved this. Some sadness. Mickey is so honest. Love you Mickey ❤

i could never figure out why bruce willis was in pulp fiction, now i know it was really meant for mickey rourke, finally it all makes sense.thanks!

You just can't help but like this guy, I'd love to have him as a mate. He's very much his own man.

I've followed Mickey since the late 80's & seen every film he's been in. At the age of 17-18 back then he was an actor who firstly I identified with emotionally but also the fact of him not trying so hard on screen to be noticed. He had a look and ability to take control of a scene without trying like other so called greats! His real life background and honesty is what became his undoing in Hollywood by the early 90's but to his credit he endured the fallout and had enough inner strength to stay afloat to then have a second coming to show the critics he was the real deal. Unfortunately of late he seems to be in another low point where clips of him walking up a street or meeting with someone and looking quite ridiculous plus comments on TMZ haven't done much to give anyone confidence to take him on. Hollywood is an exceptionally vain business and to a certain point you have to constantly jump through hoops to keep the power's to be happy. Mickey is not that kind of person so it will never be a smooth road if to continue in that industry. One thing he's proved is he's a fighter with bravado and attitude and let's hope the talent he has comes around again and we see him hopefully content and in demand.

An excellent biography on the man the legend which is mickey rourke a true artist imo, misunderstood un appreciated and extremely talented an honest decent human being. 🇮🇪 32

I dont care what anyone says. He was awesome in Iron Man 2. Such an amazing actor.

Great choice for the video, he was the next Brando, tragic what happened to him, and his Oscar was stolen by Sean Penn, the wrestler was a masterpiece.

Congratulations on making this man, this type of content is amazing and i hope you know that i love what you are doing here

Thank you for this documentary and helping me appreciate Mickey Rourke. Tarantino should give him a role in his last film, since he loves a good comeback.

thanks for giving him a fair shake. he is truly one of the best

The Wrestler is one of my top five favourite films.

My first exposure to Mickey’s acting talent was when he played Charlie Moran in the 1984 film The Pope of Greenwich Village. It’s still my favourite Mickey movie to this day. I often wondered what happened to his acting career when he disappeared from Hollywood. This video was a good overview of the ups and downs in his life. Much respect to the man for being real! 👊🇨🇦

One of my all time favorites. thank you for capturing the best looks of him. This video should the best docu about Mickey.

Thanks for reminding me how great Mickey Rourke is. I loved his films. Now I have to rewatch them!

Mickey is definitely a different type of dude. Loved him in The Wrestler. Crazy how you barely recognize him.

Brilliant actor and authentic human. Legend!

Well, I’ll give the narrator his wish where he states at the end of this doc, “hopefully yet another director will give him a great role his talent deserves again”. I just cast Mickey in our new film from Alt House Productions and Angel Oak films entitled “Cursed”. Mickey will be playing the lead role of Dr David Elder. And yes, if you search “Mickey Rourke Cursed”, there is proof (for all the deniers out there! 😂) He’s a phenomenal actor and we are excited to get filming!

It was not his acting that attracted my attention towards him. Infact I saw only two of his movies. Rourke, deeply influenced and completely won my attention in his sincere, humble and blunt interviews. I started to see myself in him. His integrity won my heart. Probably he is the only actor in Hollywood that I have deep respect for. His life is more interesting than his career.

Excellent biopic. Angel Heart - brilliant, The Wrestler - superb. His whole life is a movie in itself. Shame that such talent has been mostly wasted on screen, like Nicolas Cage. Hope he does another couple of classics if the right directors/producers are involved.

Mickey Rourke has a charismatic presence about him, that attracts you to him... A truly very real down to earth life like realism, a man made of his own. Love his work ever since I can remember coming on the scene in the early 1980's, and always wanting to see more of his art. I put him up there in the top 5 of true to life acting (actors/artist), better than Robert De Niro & Al Pacino. When Wrestler came out I was so excited to be able watch him again, especially because always was attentive to his boxing (one of my favorite sports). And how he has his dogs around make him an adorably caring. One of the most underrated entertainers of our generation/time.

“I got an old friend that’s a shoe maker that I have more respect for”!!

Amazing actor I love mickey rourke he's a fantastic actor who agrees with me 👍👌

People's faces age. You don't have to be a boxer. You age all by yourself without a glove touching you.... I like the way he looks. No, he's not pretty.. he's rough and rugged ... he has more character and much more presents now... He gets your attention..

Mickey Rourke is a 5dimensional actor.....love him!

👏👏👏 Always loved Mickey and still do, thanks for the hard work

One of my favorite portrayals on film: "Motor Cycle Boy" in Rumble Fish

He was my favorite. He was/is a natural

I've heard different reasons why he turned down Pulp Fiction. Apparently his manager advised him to. The script was hot property in Hollywood though, so his manager was either out of the loop, or Rourke was just too busy focusing on other things. He would have been great in that role.

newfound respect for Mickey. I wish him well.

"People are OK. I just like it better when they are not around" Barfly

Definitely a REAL character. Thank you for this expose. God bless Mickey and you for this compassionate review of a very complicated, talented and interesting human being.

What a storied life. So many ups and downs. The king of extremes in both life and screen. I have always enjoyed seeing him on screen.

He had a sad life. This is a man I have loved since I seen him first, & will alwaaaaaaaays do.

mickey can do more with a only a few minutes of screen time than anyone...unbelievable how in short moments he can buttress the entire film or tie the plot together with genuine skill. even in movies like "the expendables" his scene with stallone where he tells the story of how he could have saved what was left of his soul by doing something for someone else...it's the most riveting part of the movie, and it is indispensable. in "man on fire" he's barely in the movie yet somehow gives the subplot legitimacy...very few actors have the power to do so much with so little screen time.

I wish him all the best,honesty deserves to be honored.You are a brave guy,.Mickey....for all attempts in your life.

Watched this and commented before I did. I still like him and is one actor I would like to meet. Great doc.

Whether one thinks he was a good or bad boxer, for him it was catharsis and made him feel “like a man”. I can relate and respect that.

Angel Heart is one of my favorite films, and Rourke was excellent in it.

you gotta admire mickey...his honesty... his emotions.... his demons.....but at least done it his way.. he never sold out.....he is a guy i would like to take a beer with....god bless you mickey

Always been a fan of this human/actor; listened to a radio session on NPR approx 7-9months ago when they interviewed him, he put full disclosure, spirit, and humility into the 1on1 interview that would make your heart drop for how personal Mr Rourke elaborated on his personal life and career. We need more folks like him, TMZ etc can’t even do a segment on him bc they know it would be so cheap... need more of that. ✌🏼🔥

I love Mickey. He’s always my favorite.

Worthy subject, great little documentary. ANGEL HEART is one of my all time favourite movies because of Micky Roukes Harold Angel

I have always looked up to Mickey, he's always been a great actor but he also is the kind of guy that is harder on himself than anyone else could ever be. He is real and honest to a fault, what you see is what you get. It is very unusual in this day and age to find someone who stands up for what he believes in, against anyone. It doesn't matter if that person is the head of a movie studio, the president of the United States or some big drunk loudmouth in a bar, Mickey will say what has to be said and do what has to be done! He has been through a lot in his life and a lot of that was very difficult and caused him much pain and anguish, but he brought most of it on himself. He doesn't back down from nobody when he is right and, if he can look at himself in the mirror and sleep at night, he is usually right! I have a great deal of respect for Mickey, there are very few people left in this world like him who will drive themselves down to hell and pull themselves back out of the pit years later because he refuses to take shortcuts in life. He is the real deal and he is brutally honest with himself and, he will never be accused of being a phony, at anything!

No one captures the screen the way he does with this mixture of charming power and profound vulnerability

Mickey, Barfly truly amazed me how incredibly talented your acting is!

Mickey might be a troubled soul, but boy is he right about Marvel "people".

Mikey Rourke is one of my Favorite Actors of all time. Amazing Person and Extremely talented Actor. He's a Warrior. Not a Silver Spoon Actor bit he real deal. He comes form so much pain. He has an inner strength that Cannot be taught or faked. He's an Over corner. I love you Mikey. I've been through alot too. Your Awesome. I feel you.

Iconic fashion and acting... My man always Mickey!

Awesome work with this Documentary.I always liked Mickey Rourke and always will.

You just gotta respect Mickey 🍀

Mickey is a unique actor and is like marmite. I think he's always been ccccccooooooolllllllll !

Sad to see that the TV movie "City In Fear" (1980) was not mentioned. It was a good role for Mickey, with lots of screentime, and we witness his acting skills a little more fully than in those other early films where he appears only briefly. Highlighted especially are his gift of expressing subtle emotions with his eyes and through small changes in gesture. Right around that same time, he had an important (but brief) role in another tv movie, "Act of Love", which starred Ron Howard. All I can say about his work in that: it is pretty impressive when you have to do most of your acting entirely through your facial expressions, eyes, and with your voice. Don't forget "Love In The Hamptons" from '76 (might be '78?) or so... if anyone can get that in DVD (I found a copy online and bought it), it is worth it just to see a very young Mickey Rourke in his very early acting days when he was still learning and mastering his craft. "Bullet" is a TERRIFIC movie and Mickey was one half of the screenwriting team on that film (credited as "Sir" Eddie Cook), and his contributions are evident if one is really paying attention to the characters and the dialog. I consider that film to be one of the few shining moments that came out of the dark era of his life/career. He also wrote the majority of the screenplay for/starred in "F.T.W", which everyone really ought to see, if they can find it anywhere, in any format. He plays ex-con rodeo rider Frank T. Wells and Lori Singer (in a very raw and rugged performance) co-stars. All of that being said, this is a wonderful little documentary and I am grateful for your posting it. Mickey Rourke has been and still is a magnificent actor and ~ no matter his trials and challenges and ordeals ~ a good man. For those who have not yet seen it. Go watch "Ashby" (2015). It's streaming on Amazon. You won't regret it.

What a fabulous and insightful retrospective! Thank you 🙏🏻

Haven't even watched the whole video but I have to totally agree with you that Angel Heart is quite possibly his greatest performance on film and an excellent period set piece overall.

Excellent Documentary Brother thank you

No matter what.. One of my favorite actors .

There is no actor or celebrity that I would care to meet. Mickey would be interesting to meet because he is an interesting real person. It has nothing to do with his celebrity status.

I always liked Micky as he walked the talk.

what a great, well made video. thank you

This was a good watch and I appreciate the effort put into editing and narrating this video, however you were all over the place with dates/years, got the 90's mixed up with the 80's etc...Good vid tho, thx for posting.

Call me dumb or whatever but I love Harley Davidson & Marlboro man since early childhood and this character will forever be bound with Mickey in my head.

He's a TRUE SOUL,period,you either like the man or you don't,it's that simple,and he don't give a shit rather you like him or not,that's what makes him,well him.

I love Mickey Rourke.. Awesomeness actor and all round great bloke 👏👏👍
