Mickey Rourke was born Phillip Rourke in Liberty City, an overtown ghetto in
Miami City, Florida. As a teenager his family moved to Miami Beach and young
Phil attended Miami Beach Senior High School. While at the school he briefly
took an acting class with Jay Jenson. Jenson counted among his drama students
Andy Garcia & Brett Ratner. However, at the time, Rourke's interest lay in
boxing. Fighting out of Miami Beach's Fifth Street Gym and the Elizabeth Varrick
Gym in Coconut Grove, Phil Rourke rolled up a 20-4 amateur boxing record with 17
knockouts. Rourke never lost his "love" for boxing. At the height of his movie
career, he decided to become a professional boxer. He turned pro under the
nickname, Marielito, and ran up a "glossy" undefeated record of 6-0-2. He never
received the "world title shot" he desired. As a matter of fact, his move
towards pro boxing almost ended his acting career.
