!Tropes
* GunNut: To a degree. He owns a [[http://americanshootingjournal.com/western-shooting-journal-interviews-actor-michael-rooker-walking-dead-various-movies/ share]] in the Los Angeles Shooting Range, and is a fan of the [[CoolGuns 1911 pistol.]]
* ProductionPosse: If you're watching a James Gunn movie, you can bet good money he's gonna be in it in some way, shape, or form.
* StarMakingRole: ''Film/HenryPortraitOfASerialKiller'', widely regarded as one of the best, most realistic and chilling performances of a serial killer in film.
* {{Typecasting}}: Due to his raspy voice and memorable performance as Henry Lee Lucas, Michael is often cast as sinister villains (even in comedic flicks like ''Mallrats''). However, he has (and does) play good guys.
** Regardless of moral alignment, his characters tend to fit [[DeepSouth redneck, white trash stereotypes]] to varying degrees.
* VocalDissonance: PlayedWith. While his raspy voice is no doubt intimidating, it is somewhat higher and weaker-sounding that one would expect.
