Michael Rooker Scroll down for movie list. Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Large, soft-spoken, quietly powerful actor whose frightening performance in the cult film Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) earned him widespread acclaim when it was finally released in 1990. Rooker's accomplished performance accounted for much of the underground success of the gritty lowbudget opus. By that time, he'd also been seen in Light of Day (1987) and Rent-aCop (1988), prior to landing juicier parts as Black Sox player Chick Gandil in Eight Men Out a KKK member in Mississippi Burning (both 1988), and a psychopathic husband in Sea of Love (1989). He has since played several "good guys," in Music Box (1989), Days of Thunder (1990), and JFK (1991, as one of Jim Garrison's assistants). In 1993 he costarred in The Dark Half, Cliffhanger (as Sylvester Stallone's friend-turned-foe), and Tombstone |  |
