Mark Wahlberg has one style of acting. He’s like the Will Ferrell of dramas. If you listen to his angry voice and happy voice, they’re basically the same thing with a minor fluctuation in tone. A computer analyzing the sound waves couldn’t even tell the difference. You could get more emotion out of a cardboard box. Plus, his voice is so monotone. Listening to him is like listening to a professor lecture about string theory.
Here’s Marky Mark on the set of The Fighter shirtless to take attention off of his wooden acting. Christian Bale is in this film too which could suck for Wahlberg. It’s like when I stand naked next to Brad Pitt. I almost feel embarrassed for the guy.
