Film Actor Michael Rooker
Rooker appeared in the big budget action flick Days of Thunder, and the independently produced Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer -- now out on home video. He was born into a poor, predominantly white town in Alabama, and later moved to a black neighborhood in Chicago. After growing up among people working 15-hour days, it took Rooker until his early twenties to believe that acting could be a real job.
