Marv >> Extras "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad." Affiliates (?) (Interested?) More About Marv "It's amazing. Mickey Rourke as my Marv, who is a series of drawings I did. To see him come to life in the manner he did, with his manic masculinity, was astonishing." ... Frank Miller "Mickey I worked with on Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and when I looked at the book again I told Frank 'There's only one guy I know who can be Marv, and you're not going to get it from any of his other work.' Because when I told him 'Mickey Rourke' he said [doubtful] 'The guy from 9 1/2 Weeks? 'You have to sit down and meet with this guy, because you're not gonna get it from any of his work. It's only because I know him and what a tortured soul he is, that he's as close as we can get to Marv without hurting ourselves.' He almost steals the movie, actually…That's such an iconic look for that character, the angles Frank would draw. We tried to recreate that on an actual human and when they first did Mickey it didn't look quite right, and I said 'Hey, he's got a lot more character in his face than that. Look at my friend [character actor] Danny Trejo's face and model the creases after that!' So the next one had Danny Trejo's lifelines all over the face, but with the angularity that Marv has, because we know part of it is that look. It's supposed to be this monstrosity that couldn't even buy a woman to be with him. That was sort of the tragedy of the character, is that he's always had a face like that so people always assume he's a criminal. So he became a criminal." ... Robert Rodriguez Marv Wallpaper
