Michael Rook­er takes our Guardians of the Galaxy pop quiz

28 Apr 2017

Words by Little White Lies

The vet­er­an Hol­ly­wood actor answers ques­tions on James Gunn’s super­hero sequel.

We were thrilled to be in the pres­ence of one of Hollywood’s char­ac­ter actor stal­warts, even if it was only for six sweet min­utes. Michael Rook­er explod­ed onto the scene way back in 1986 as the lead in Hen­ry: Por­trait of a Ser­i­al Killer, where he encap­su­lat­ed the banal­i­ty of evil in his role as a gar­den vari­ety murderer.

Though he’s been putting in the hard yards on TV’s The Wak­ing Dead, it’s his role in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy saga for which he’s now known among fan­boys far and wide.

As music is such an inte­gral part of the Guardians uni­verse, we decid­ed to spring a lit­tle pop quiz on Mr Rook­er, with all ques­tions inspired by the Awe­some Mix Vol 2 soundtrack.
