Who would have guessed that Mickey Rourke would be hailed the comeback of the year?
Who would have guessed that Mickey Rourke would be hailed the comeback of the year, with his role in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler” getting critical acclaim from all comers? It’s been a tough road for the actor/former boxer, and he brings every bit of wear and tear to the film, which is all the better for it. In honor of Rourke, on this week’s IFC News podcast we look at other actors who’ve faded from the spotlight only to make great comebacks, and a few who never managed to make their return work.
And don’t forget to check out our footage of Aronofsky, Rourke and co-star Marisa Tomei at the New York Film Festival.
