Mickey Rourke - Mickey Rourke's Actor Dislike

[a kennedy]

Mickey Rourke has little time for other actors and says many of them ''suck'' at their jobs.

Mickey Rourke doesn't respect many other actors.

The 57-year-old star - who received critical acclaim for his role as Randy 'The Ram' Robinson' in 'The Wrestler' - believes few people in Hollywood are as professional as they let on and claims many of them "suck".

He said: "You can be less than mediocre and be a f*****g movie star. I have respect for very few actors and actresses. Some of them get a lot of acclaim but just because their movie made $200 million at the box office; they still suck. I got no respect for them and I used to let them know it."

However, the leading man now prefers to keep out of arguments with other actors, and maintains dignity when he doesn't like a co-star.

1. He's right about equating Box Office success with talent....

Shia LaBooff case in point...

[Ian David]

2. He hasn't done anything good since Angelheart. n/t

4. Bar Fly...

10. Charles Bukowski's story

Unless you know a "heavy hitter" or 2, you can't begin to appreciate the level of detail in that movie.

3. He creeps me out. nt

5. He is the male posterboy for why one should age gracefully

sans plastic surgery... There are lots and lots of female poster-girls, but he's pretty much in a league of his own-- now that MJ has moved on to the next realm.

He had a lot of potential in his younger years, but squandered most of his talent. Not all, but much of it.

6. Another guy I'll put on the most likely to become

Rip Torn List.

7. Sylvester Stallone should be runner-up posterboy

for aging gracefully........

9. "but squandered most of his talent."

11. My comment has nothing to do with the article...

I admire him for his comeback, but regret his long period of wasted talent.

12. Sorry to be so touchy last night.

13. thanks..

we all have days like that...;)

8. An excellent actor who doesn't play the bullshit Hollywood game.

He fucked up for quite awhile, but he's still a tremendous actor. People should have seen him on Inside The Actor's Studio....not the bad guy he appears to be at all.

As for his statements here, I bet he's spot fucking on.

And he killed in The Wrestler.

14. I can't get past his face. He's not wrong about a lot

actors but still for me to find it believable I have to get past what you look like. He just can't bring it the way someone like Ian McKlellen can.
