Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Michael Rooker (1955 - ) Actor Born: 1955, Jasper, AL Education: Goodman Theater School of Drama, Chicago, IL (acting) Block-faced character actor, whose malleable looks helped him segue from menacing characters, PROHIBIDA OBSESION (1989), to reassuring ones, THE DARK HALF (1993). Rooker began on the Chicago stage, appearing in Union Boys and Moon Children. He made the transition to features playing small character roles. In 1988 alone, he appeared in four films: John Sayles's EIGHT MEN OUT (1988); Alan Parker MISSISSIPPI EN LLAMAS (1988); MI QUERIDO POLICIA (1988); y ABOVE THE LAW (1988). Rooker garnered critical acclaim for his disturbing performance in John McNaughton HENRY RETRATO DE UN ASESINO (1990). Filmed in 1986, and shelved until 1990, the film was finally released with an X rating due to its intensely realistic violence. Rooker's performance suggested the inner workings of a deeply disturbed yet outwardly normal man. Eschewing flashy characterization, Rooker crafted a human monster that truly unnerved the viewer. He has since been given strong supporting roles in the Tom Cruise vehicle DIAS DE TRUENOS (1990), Oliver Stone JFK: LA PREGUNTA QUE NO QUIERE CALLAR (1991), THE DARK HALF (1993) y RIESGO TOTAL (1993).
