Before becoming a best-selling author and paranormal consultant, Mr. Rourke as a young person won several awards for writing and took a top prize in a statewide art exhibition for sculpture. He turned down a full scholarship to a state college to instead live and travel overseas working as both an actor and a model. Over the next several years he appeared in countless regional plays and TV commercials. Most notable, while living in Ireland, Jack starred in an edgy MTV styled TV advertisement for the Irish national building society. As a model in the early 1990's Ireland, he was pictured in and on everything from denim jeans, bill boards, underwear packaging and scores of newspaper and magazine advertisements. However, Jack is most proud of being the cover model for the Irish trade board's campaign to broaden the appeal of products bearing the emblem "Made in Ireland". This catalogue was distributed throughout the European Union. Jack not being an Irish National was a closely guarded secret. Consequently, he was then hired to represent then British designer of the year Jon Rocha in a dramatic BBC televised fashion show at Dromoland Castle in the west of Ireland. Upon settling in Los Angeles, Jack enrolled in the prestigious Howard Fine Acting Academy. There he was mentored by multi-award-winning director/producer, Michael Arabian.

He then went on to produce a series of original works at the Hudson and eventually became a founding member and strong voice on the creative board of directors of the Hudson theatre's short-lived resident company. By this time, Rourke had appeared on American TV in such programs as "The Young and the Restless", the WB's "Jack & Jill" and in films such as "Telling You" and other direct to video releases. Jack retired from pursuing work as an actor in 1999 after cultivating a side passion for traveling assisting others live their dreams. Having been intrigued by Psychical research since childhood, Jack founded a company called Paranormal Media Services and began a full-time consulting practice.
