Movieweb recently had the chance to speak with Michael Rooker about the extensive commitment it took to just apply the makeup for this character, how filmmaker James Gunn’s style has been altered (if at all) to build this immense sequel, and much more.
Character actor Michael Rooker, best known throughout the world for his role in Days of Thunder (and among Portland’s geek population as “Merle Dixon” in the AMC television adaptation of The Walking Dead graphic novel), was spotted at Blitz Pearl Sports Pub this morning.
Another great episode of Speakeasy, in which Michael discusses shaving his head for Mallrats, the Call of Duty voiceover, and the “Skunk-cident.”
