I think he is a fantastic actor. I try to see every movie he is in, even if the previews look like garbage.

I thought he was an awful actor up until I saw The Fighter. Since then he has been a roll with some impressive flicks.

But goddammit, he had some stinkers earlier in his career. He was unbearable in The Happening, Planet of the Apes, Three Kings, Four Brothers, Invincible, etc. His short role in the Departed wasn't bad but I feel like literally anyone could have done his 15 minutes of screen time.

He's certainly gotten better as he's gotten older. I think he's pretty good.

He's a legit actor now. Of course early on he was not, but I will pretty much watch any movie he puts out because I like his acting.

That movie was damn good. I hope they make more Stephen Hunter movies in the future.

This may be one of the greatest scenes in The Departed. It's my favorite part of the whole movie and I like to loop it when Hollywood arse clowns make dumb political statements. Who needs dialog in a scene like that?

I always forget how awesome The Departed is. Everytime I see it on, it draws me in, no matter what point its at.

Marky Mark...seems like a cool guy, and i like most of the stuff he's been in, but it also seems like he hasn't done anything yet that is really just amazing.

Leonardo Dicaprio for the middle class.

I think that he is extremely underrated as an actor. I also think he does a great job of selected movies that fit his skill set.

spot on.

The Other Guys is one of my favorite comedies in the last few years and it has little to do will Farrell and a lot to do with Marky Mark's performance in it.

He excels at comedic performances, and is good in action movies...however, his dramatic performances arent very impressive imo.

Yeah....comparing anyone to Daniel Day Lewis is just not fair.

He's best when playing an idiot. That's why Boogie Nights is so good.
