For him, Schweiger is not only “a dear friend”, but also “perhaps the greatest talent as an actor, director and producer”. He has already worked with his colleague and respects Schweiger’s work process as a “very creative and pleasant man”. He wants to help him and knows that the 59-year-old is “a strong, smart, loyal man” with substance who loves making films. Sometimes all you need is a friend, and Rourke wants to be that friend for Schweiger.
