Whatever happened to Mickey Rourke? (Part II)

It seems like only yesterday (because it was) that I was remarking about the comeback of Mickey Rourke. Today the Los Angeles Times jumps on the bandwagon with this story that begins thusly:

"Mickey Rourke's time has finally come. More than a quarter of a century after he catapulted to stardom in Barry Levinson's 'Diner' and Francis Ford Coppola's 'Rumble Fish,' the man who never won an Oscar but pretty much retired the trophy for America's Craziest Living Actor may get that second act that few artists who self-destruct at an early age ever live to see."
