Philip Andre "Mickey" Rourke Jr. (born September 16, 1952) is an American actor and former boxer who has appeared primarily as a leading man in drama, action, and thriller films. During the star of the 1980s, Rourke played supporting roles in films like Body Heat (1981) and Diner (1982), before portraying leading roles in films like The Motorcycle Boy in Rumble Fish (1983), Charlie Moran in The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984), Captain Stanley White in Year of the Dragon and John Gray in 9½ Weeks (1986). He received critical praise for his work in the Charles Bukowski biopic Barfly and the horror mystery Angel Heart (both 1987). In 1991, following a string of critical and commercial failures, Rourke—who trained as a boxer in his early years—left acting and became a professional boxer for a time. After retiring from boxing in 1994, Rourke returned to acting and had supporting roles in several films such as The Rainmaker (1997), Buffalo '66 (1998), Animal Factory, Get Carter (both 2000), The Pledge (2001), Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003), Man on Fire (2004) and Domino (2005). In 2005, Rourke made a comeback in mainstream Hollywood circles with a lead role in the neo-noir action thriller Sin City, for which he won awards from the Chicago Film Critics Association, the Irish Film and Television Awards, and the Online Film Critics Society. This comeback culminated in his portraying aging wrestler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in the sports drama film The Wrestler (2008). For the role, Rourke won the Golden Globe Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actor, and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. After this, Rourke appeared in several commercially successful films; Iron Man 2, The Expendables (both 2010) and Immortals (2011), before primarily going on to work in independent and direct-to-video productions.
In "Sin City 3: Hell and Back", the sin city once again becomes the stage for a plot full of corruption, crime and revenge. Wallace (Tom Hardy), a hardened and lonely ex-military man, returns to the city after years abroad. He is seeking redemption and trying to leave his dark past behind. However, when a mysterious woman, Delilah (Jessica Rothe), enters his life with a desperate cry for help, Wallace finds himself drawn into an underworld of conspiracies, betrayals and dark secrets. Delilah is on the run from Viper (Clifton Collins Jr.), a powerful business mogul who operates in the shadows, controlling Sin City's politics and economy. As Wallace and Delilah struggle to expose Viper's machinations and uncover the truth behind her situation, they come across familiar faces from Sin City, such as the infamous Marv (Mickey Rourke) and the exotic Gail (Rosario Dawson). With the help of old allies and the unmistakable visual style of Sin City, Wallace must embark on a relentless journey, where the lines between justice and revenge become blurred.
