'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer'

How many times have we seen Michael Rooker in a film or TV? A billion times. A trillion times.

He's a familiar face. A face that is so familiar that it's easy to forget. You've seen him, and yet you could never pinpoint what show or film you've seen him on.

However, his seminal role was in his first ever film in 1986. The role that finds Rooker at his best that 90 percent of all Americans have never, ever seen. More people have seen him in "Mallrats" than they have his greatest performance. A violent film and harsh film about the realities of death and the frivolousness of life and the desperation of people that can not quite put things together in a civilized society.
