Mickey Rourke, pet lover & nice guy

Mickey Rourke has a bad rep. It's said he's difficult, mercurial, and that some of his movie choices have been a little questionable (although a guy who gets to have onscreen fun with the likes of Kim Basinger, Carré Otis, and Lisa Bonet is probably doing something right.)

In one of his more infamous incidents, he walked off the set of Luca Bercovici's Luck Of The Draw when producers refused to let him include his pet chihuahua in the movie. I'm not sure if that makes him difficult or just a pet lover. After all, his chihuahua might've been a really, really talented actor.

As it turns out, Mickey has mellowed in his old age. In an interview, he talks about his role in Domino (opposite yet another lovely actress--Keira Knightley) and says, "I'm not gonna get any more chances. This is it. I can't mess up any more."

Critics loved his turns in Domino and Sin City, so here's hoping Mickey keeps up the good work.
