            There is conflicting info on him out there. He fought under different names, but his official boxrec record is 0-1-0, but his boxrec bio goes into his fights in a little more detail. His IMDB bio says he fought at least 15 fights. I recall reading a more detailed bio of his life that talked about his boxing days. I believe he was mentioned in the autobiography of Graziano or LaMotta and they recall seeing him working out and sparring at the gym.

              Mickey Rourke

              Dean Martin fought as an amateur, supposedly had some pro fights under an assumed name prior to becoming an actor/singer.
