The guy is not even an average actor. He plays the same role of patriotic, working-class guy. And he has a scumbag look about him.

He was OK I boogie nights. I'll give him that.

Boogie Nights
The Departed
The Fighter
Shooter
We Own the Night
Invincible
I Heart Huckabees
Ted
Lone Survivor


He has his wheelhouse, but he takes a few risks here and there and doesn't make many bad movies, even if he doesn't carry the show.

Whatever.

The bottom line is that he sells tickets. I don't really have an opinion of him one way or the other.

But the answer to your question is that he sells tickets.

Dude is GREAT at comedy. The Other Guys was a tour de force by Wahlberg. The comedic parts of Boogie Nights and The Departed are fantastic.

He was perfect for his role in Lone Survivor.

The Italian Job
The Other Guys
Four Brothers
Invincible
Boogie Nights
The Departed
Rock Star
Broken City
2 Guns
Shooter
Contraband
Ted

Forget Planet of the Apes and Transformers.

Dude has has some good roles. Think you are selling him a bit short. Not an elite actor but above average for sure.

Because he's awesome.

Remember the departed? He was in that movie.

Some people don't like some actors regardless of how well they play roles and what not. He is a really good actor and plays comedy roles perfect. I die laughing every time I watch it

Nothing special at all about his performances in any of those movies.

OP is an idiot. I get he's not the best actor in Hollywood, but he is pretty much solid. The Italian Job, The Departed, Lone Survivor, We Own the Night, The Fighter, Boogie Nights are just a few movies where he was good.
