   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!
