I mean the guy so good looking, all he has to do is blink and you can’t take your eyes off him.- Mickey Rourke’s Instagram It would be my pleasure to let anyone know Don Johnson is a very great actor and has been underrated for many years. “I was fortunate enough to work on a film with Don, the only bad part was-the director sucked, but Don knew so much about behind the camera stuff, he used to tell director where to put the camera. THE PLAYERS: Starring: Mickey Rourke, Don Johnson, Chelsea Field, Giancarlo Esposito, Tom Sizemore, and Daniel Baldwin. To pull this off, they plan a heist but wind up in possession of a massive load of a popular new street drug called “Crystal Dream.” ![]() A biker ( Mickey Rourke) and his cowboy pal ( Don Johnson) team up to save their favorite bar from going under.
