    Overview

    Michael Rooker is a character actor who got his first big break when he appeared as the title character in

    Henry: Portrait of a Serial

     Rooker in Call of the Dead
    Rooker in Call of the Dead

    Killer. Because of that film’s distinctly violent and psychopathic nature he has historically been cast in similar roles. The most recent example of this is the character of Merle Dixon in

    The Walking Dead

    television series on AMC. He is a playable character in the

    Call Of Duty: Black Ops

    DLC pack

    Call Of The Dead.

    Before that he had done video game voice work for both

    Scarface: The World Is Yours

    and

    The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

    .

    Rooker usually plays as violent characters. He has starred in some big movies such as Cliffhanger and JFK always in secondary roles (he plays Hayden Christensen's father in Jumper). If he's not playing a secondary character, he's playing as a bad guy or a monster like in Sliver. Recently, he has starred in the Walking Dead as Merle Dixon, a violent hick who enjoys slaughtering zombies while also being racist.
