You've seen him as Bobby
Marsino on one of televisions juiciest
daytime dramas - The Young And The
Restless, a balls out, take no prisoners
pimp who's gonna kick yo' ass and whoop dat'
trick in Phonebooth, the man all the
women wish they'd meet - Mr. Cocky aka Mr.
Too Big in HBO's smash hit series Sex And
The City. Need more to wet your whistle?
He tantalized your senses as a Dead Sexy
bank robber in F.T.W., lubricated
your eyeballs and moistened your panties as
Lester The Molester in the cult classic
Bullet.
You may
be scratchin' your head and wondering WTF
John Enos is doin' here on a Mickey Rourke
website. I myself kinda wonder WTF your doin'
here if you don't know the answer to that
question dumbass! Or if you prefer it in
French, the language of love, I'll put it to
ya this way tete merde...they is like
brothas'. John and Mickey are tight, tight
as tight can be, so tight they squeak when
they walk, bounce a quarter offa that ass
and you'll come up with spare change as a
friend of mine says...hahaha..j/k...but you
get my drift. John and Mickey, Mickey and
John, these 2 fella's are a total riot.
Experience em' in action together and they
give new meaning to the words double
trouble. You won't know what hit ya, which
way is up or where your headed, but one
thang you will know is this, it's gonna be a
wild ride!
John Enos, or if ya
wanna get all uptight and formal about it,
John Enos III, a born and bred Boston boy
(I'm not even gonna try to tackle that
accent!) who's got a eye popping history in
Hollywood. (come on now, be fair..who
doesn't in that town? The flying nun?) He's
got a heart of pure gold, balls the size of
his beloved Fenway Park and can see and
smell bullshit a country mile off.
John isn't a man of many words. But don't
make the mistake of interpreting that as an
ego problem or him having a stick up his ass
or sumthan'. John cuts to the chase and
doesn't beat around the bush. (ut-oh here I
go with the bush references again..lol!)
John hit the
Hollyweird scene in the infamous 80's when
excess was the name of the game. An
especially hard time to navigate the murky
waters of Hollywood, but staying true to his
Bostonian roots, he squared his shoulders
and put his nose to the grindstone.
Determination, faith and hard work were his
companions and fueled his drive. Among all the
pit stops and road side attractions, he
experienced things that most people have wet
dreams about. John Enos has true grit,
nobody can dispute that!
This man of Portuguese
and Italian decent ( no he is NOT
Greek - does NOT speak Greek,
but "will do Greek". (Umm, John what in the
hell does that mean? You eat gyros? haha!
the secrets in the sauce as they say )
hasn't got too big for his britches ( unless
maybe your watching him in Sex And The City.
Oh man, this is going to hell in a hand
basket ) Johns been described as
a hard worker, a consummate professional on
set with just the right mix of good
natured hooligan thrown in to keep
everyone in good spirits. The life of the
par-tahy - yet if the going gets tough, this
is 1 man you definitely want in your corner.
If your his friend, he's got your back.
Nobody's gonna get in yo' face and bust your
chops with him around. John is true to his
word, if he says he's going to do something,
he damn we'll does it and doesn't pussy foot
around. John is old school with hardcore
qualities befitting a man older than his 40
some years. Tell him a secret, or have a
personal convo. with him and your assured
it's not going to be splashed on Page
Six or whispered about between brewskis,
he'll take it to the grave with him.
Yes ladies and a few
gents, he is happily married to his lovely,
equally ballsy wife Jennie. When John
finally jumped the broom, women across the
globe donned black and mourned their fantasy
man being taken off the market. Boo-fuckin'-hoo,
cry me a river. Last time I checked
fantasizing within reason didn't condemn
anybody to that place called purgatory that
Stephy tells me about. Don't go hatin' on
Jennie for forcing you to take Johns name
off your wishful thinking pooty conquest
list cuz she's one of the coolest chicks I
know. Heck, rub that onion the wrong way and
she'd most likely hand you yo' ass on a
platter and give ya a to go box as well.
If there is one thing
that Stephy and I have learned here at
uniquely, it's this...Mickey Rourke's REAL friends don't hang his
ass out there to the highest bidder. They're
very guarded, almost protective when peeps
start pokin' around askin' questions about
Mickey, as any true friends will and should
do for him. Nobody likes loose lips, why
should Mickeys real friends be any different
from anybody else? Stephy and I have come
across those who want to *tell all*
to us in regards to Mickey, and truth be
told, we've run the other way as fast as our
legs will carry us when that happens. Why?
The proof is in the puddin', if someone is
gonna go and run their flapper about Mickey
and his family, his late blood brother Joe,
his past, his present or future, we know
that person isn't the kinda person we'd
befriend. It's like everybody wants a piece
of Mickey, or wants to ride on his coat
tails to benefit themselves. Just
because this is the internet doesn't
mean your exempt from the ramifications of
bad behavior. Ya can't chrome a turd as my
dad used to say. No it isnt a pretty mental
image, but it fits. Mickeys real
friends, like John, epitomize the essence
and very definition of true friends.
Recently John sat down
with us to answer a few questions. Hey, did
I remember to mention John Enos is one
cool mutha' fucker? If not, there, I
just did. See... even though he's a hard
ass, he's a genuinely nice fella'. Just
don't smell like fish, tuna in particular,
cuz that my friend, is a dead end street. We
hope you enjoy the questions we threw at
John, he fielded them like a pro. Wait a
minute, he is a pro, what the hell am I
thinkin? LOL! Stephy and I would like to
thank John and Jennie for being such good
friends to us, being there in the trenches
with us, havin' our backs and for being
real. There isn't any other way to be!
We hope everyone enjoys this EXCLUSIVE
to uniquelyrourke.com! Thanks John and Jennie, we love-a ya!
uniquelyrourke: How did you get

Miller beer, it was for extras and they

paid bank! UR: Did you attend acting school or
classes? If so where? JE: I did the usual, lots of classes....I
worked with Howard Fine, and Mickey was also
my favorite coach. UR: What kinda jobs did you have before
you hit your stride in acting? JE: bartender/bouncer UR: What did you want to be growing up? JE: I never really focused on one thing. UR: If you weren't an actor, what do you

and I get asked this question a zillion
times a week, put us, and everybody else
outta our misery...how and when did ya
meet Mickey? JE: We met at Mickey and Joeys candy store
in Beverly Hills back in 88-89. UR: Everybody LOVES Bullet, Lester The
Molester is fucking classic! Anything that
really stands out in your mind with the

fun, too much........every night we went out
and painted the town. UR: How did you prepare as an actor to
play Lester? How did you get into character
as they say? JE: I hung out with friends in Brooklyn,
going to clubs etc. Also, the late Gianni
Versace hooked me up with the wardrobe. UR: In F.T.W. (The Last Ride) (one of my
favorite Rourke flicks!) you made a small,
but often talked about appearance as a bank
robber. Any memories from the set you'd care
to share? JE: Hmmm, I was shooting another movie at
the time and almost didn't make it! When
they, Pete Berg and Lori Singer, are in the
car leaving the bank, I was on an airplane. UR: Obviously you are way tight with
Mickey, what do you think are the biggest
misconceptions of him floating around out
there? And why do ya think people like to
run their holes about him like they know
him, and they really don't? JE: Micks a nice guy and has time for
people, to say hello etc, as long as they

days. The #1 being, will you, or do you hope
to, reprise your role as Bobby Marsino? (Ya
know Im from Wisconsin and didn't even know
there was an actual Genoa City here..haha!) JE: As for YNR, it won't happen. The powers
that be there have changed hands a couple

directions. UR: Any projects that you are working on
