    Mark is a rare case where he actually gains more skill the older he gets...
    Can you think of "peak" Wahlberg in the way you can think of "peak" Pacino, Denzel, Nicholson, Brando, Dustin Hoffman or Hopkins? Mark was never ever close to their level but he gradually gains a little more ability with every movie. Pretty interesting. Shame he's been nowhere near a great part by any other actor's standards but he plays great in some of the stuff he takes on.
