Anyway I was watching the movie The Rainmaker for this b.s. law class and he was in it. And of course I didn't really pay attention so I had to look up the general plot when I got home to right this paper type deal. And I saw he was a professional boxer and where he was in a movie called Barfly, which was written by Charles Bukowski. I was just interested that is all and he seemed like the kind of guy you could cheer for maybe.
He did play Bukowski but Chuck wasn't fond of his performance, said he was a little too over the top for his character. Bukowski was a great writer, love his work. Notes of a Dirty Old Man is one of my favorites. Never saw Barfly though.
I've got 3 Rourke fights...
He was really rough around the edges and as Donny said really dirty fighter. I think theres something on YouTube.... Not sure tho.
Bro,see Barfly,I think Chuck was a little po'ed because it was a little too close to homeQuote:

Bullet, Rumble Fish, Wrestler, and Homeboy are the shit..
