* CareerResurrection: [[invoked]] With ''Film/TheWrestler''. His career started with high critical praise and success for roles in ''Diner'', ''9 1/2 Weeks'' and ''Film/AngelHeart''. However, his substance abuse problems (and a bizarre decision to get into boxing) would drag him down. He made a series of small, low-budget films for 20 years, until Creator/RobertRodriguez dusted him off to play Billy in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInMexico'' and Marv in ''Film/SinCity''. Rourke then had a supporting role in box office bomb ''Film/{{Domino}}'' before being cast in a "very close to home" role as a washed up former pro wrestler in ''The Wrestler'', which netted him an Oscar nomination and a part oppposite Downey in ''Film/IronMan2''. However, after the failure of ''Film/{{Immortals}}'', [[StarDerailingRole he has fallen back out of stardom]], now mainly appearing in DirectToVideo films.
