I am shocked to find this out. I didn't know Mark was a racist pig.

6. Mark Wahlberg
The Entourage creator had a very violent youth growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Wahlberg had been in trouble with the law over 20 times before he turned 16 for violently racist assaults. At 15, civil action was filed against Wahlberg for his involvement in two separate incidents of harassing African-American children, by throwing rocks and shouting racial epithets. The following year he beat one Vietnamese man so badly that he believed he had blinded him (the man had actually lost his eye during the Vietnam War). Mark was sentenced to two years in jail. Today, Wahlberg describes his guilt, “I did a lot of things that I regret, and I have certainly paid for my mistakes. You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn’t until I really started doing good and doing right by other people, as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don’t have a problem going to sleep at night. I feel good when I wake up in the morning.” Do you forgive him?

There's other on this list.

I still think he is to be honest. He just hides it now.

Old news.
And he still hasn't compensated the blind guy financially with all his riches, or even apologised face-to-face, because he's 'put it behind him' and 'forgiven himself'. Wee soul.

Very old news, he's been on a quest for the recent years to get his violent past taken off the police files

I just found out. Now I hate him. I won't be watching anymore of his movies even Ted--which I actually loved.

I find that you have to seperate the actor and the personality life of the actor otherwise you'll end up hating half of Hollywood and not being able to enjoy a single movie

Also, he was 15 so that could be taken into consideration... Albeit I do think that he should pay the victim a hefty sum from the will of his own heart and meet up with him and tell him he's sorry (without camera cause that would just seem like a publicity stunt if he did) AND also face the consequences that he will be marked for his violent past and not try to get out of it just because he's famous

Well, Sean Connery, Christian Bale are on the list as well. Their talent alone makes me overlook certain things. Mark Walhberg? NOPE. His work isn't that wonderful.

Where have you been all this time ?

yeah, I guess this is old news.

He needs to make the effort to compensate the victims somehow, imo... ala My Name is Earl style. Even just apologising face-to-face would be a start.

Are you trying to be /tele/ own little SFBE?

The guy just screams lowlife punk. It's no coincidence his only great performance was in Boogie Nights, as he was basically just playing himself.

Didn't the oriental man he 'blinded' come out two years ago and say that he got that injury in Nam way before Mark attacked him?

I remember hearing about this a while ago, and not being all too surprised honestly. Seems to fit his personality profile, at least in some respects. Doesn't make his actions any less deplorable, of course.
