Both have wooden acting skills. Both have been a lead in a M. Night movie. Both have numerous cop roles. Both have that "squinted eyes" look. Both have appeared in comedy buddy cop movies. Mark can easily replace Bruce in any of the movies he's starred in (Yes, even Die Hard), and vice versa I'm sure I'm missing a lot more parallels between the two. Bruce has about 20 years of age over Mark, I'm sure in the next couple decades we'll be seeing Mark taking on more movies similar to what Bruce has starred in the past. Mark is Bruce Willis of this decade.
At 15, he harassed a group of African American school children on a field trip by throwing rocks (causing injuries) and shouting racial epithets.[7] When he was 16, after robbing a pharmacy under the influence of PCP, Wahlberg knocked a middle-aged Vietnamese man unconscious, left another Vietnamese man permanently blind in one eye, and attacked a security guard (again using racist language).[8][9] For these crimes, Wahlberg was charged with attempted murder, pleaded guilty to assault, and was sentenced to two years in jail at Boston's Deer Island House of Correction, of which he served 45 days (6.16%).[8][10] In another incident, the 21-year-old Wahlberg fractured the jaw of a neighbor in an unprovoked attack. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wahlberg
We all do stupid things when we are young. I doubt Mark is racist now. Being in Hollywood around different kinds of races, yeah I doubt Mark is racist now.
We've all done stupid things while young. Getting charged and pleading guilty to attempted murder is usually not one of those things.
Mark hasn't made any epic movies like Die Hard, 5th Element, Pulp Fiction. Also Bruce was boning one of the hottest babes of his era in Demi Moore.
To be fair, I used to throw rocks at Christian Whities. (of course, I am one now.) What does that make me!?! <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HqdJkFM3pSM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HqdJkFM3pSM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
I think I'm the only one on Earth who probably thought Departed was OK. The Truth About Charlie is better IMO, BUT that's just me... and probably only me.
