The Italian Job - the 2013 version
How does Marky Mark get acting gigs? Pinocchio has more range and ability than that midget.
Also the script is terrible.

Glad to see someone else thinks this.

I guess people find him charismatic enough to keep going to see his stuff. I guess he's like other limited actors that if you like them you'll keep watching them. I think I like a bunch of his stuff, but I certainly don't see them for his acting chops.
I think his brother is a better actor than he is but isn't a huge star (and I assume is an anti-vaxxer nut like his missus).
Italian Job was the one where Edward Norton was contractually obliged to be in it so I think he tried to act at a level lower than Marky Marks even.

@antipodean @jegga surely you cant deny his effort in Boogie Nights through!

The only people who think he has charisma have type two diabetes and weigh more than a small car.
On any list of characteristics, he's way down the list. There are better action actors, short actors, charismatic actors, etc. He must have a production company that buys heaps of scripts.

Charlize is in it so I can watch it.
I've stood on these steps in the Palazzo Madama in Turin (from the original movie).

Don't need a lot of range for the characters he plays. Being an everyman, boofhead type works for him.
I've seen worse actors.

Like the literature professor in The Gambler?

So have I, but I don't expect much from a school revue.

Parts like direct him back to what he does well.
Remember, if it was easy as everyone thinks, then everybody would be doing it.

Marky Mark was brilliant in The Departed.
Yes he was good in that. It had a brilliant cast.

Supply vs demand.

@antipodean There are 100 much cheaper Marky Marks that would use instead if it was easy. He may not be your cup of tea (he's not mine either), but he's competent at what he does.
A very narrow range.

I heard something similar on a podcast about George Clooney. Basically he doesn’t have much of a range so he just picks roles within what he can do . The studios know that and fans will come to see him be a variation of basically what he usually plays.
Sells his part in Return of the Killer tomatoes a bit short but it’s otherwise fair .

I think most actors have a type, which is similar to their own personality.

True , then occasionally you get someone like Billy Bob Thornton .

Big Mark Wahlberg fan.
For those saying he doesn't have range
Ted, The Fighter, The Departed, Boogie Nights
Tell 'em they're dreaming.
