even tho he is a little tiny guy like the majority of the new actors..

He plays manly a lot better.   he pulls it off better than say decrapio or that damon guy.

My girlfriend was telling me during our viewing of "the departed" that they were not that tiny...  I told her.. "see that gun he is holding?  that great big huge cannon?... thats a walther ppk.. a tiny little gun."

She seemed doubtful so I paused it and got one out of the safe.. a stainless interarms one.. I could palm it like some cheap magician.  it was positively tiny in my hand.  In most guys hands.

I always found it funny, how the celebrities and people we idolize are actually rather short.

I bumped into Mark Wahlberg at the Roxy in '92, he was around 5' 7", but looked shorter.

I enjoyed his character in the Italian Job also. I think he is a good actor or at least 100 million percent better as an actor than I remember hearing in the late 80's as a musician.

He wasn't the CK man for nothing, that's for sure.

He was great in Boogie Nights, great movie overall too...

I was hesitant to watch some of his movies, but I too have found him to be a decent actor. I'd put him about 1000 times better than Nicolas Cage, but 100 times less than say Tom Hanks. He is in the top 40% probably.

nope, if it has Cage in it I probably won't either. He is the suckiest of the suck actors on the planet.

Cage was pretty good in 8mm (I think thats what it was.  The movie where hes a detective and tracks down the brutal porn ring).

I put him in the same sort of catagory as matt damon.  Seem like they'd be normal guys when not acting and not typical hollywood idiots.

Well, I still stand by my critique of him in The Departed.  He just didn't seem comfortable at all, did what I call 'Reciting between breaths', it was quite noticable to me.  But I really think he's become a good actor, very surprising considering the young white rapper image he cultivated in the early '90s.  And Donny?  Wow.  He blew me away with his portrayal of Carwood Lipton in Band Of Brothers.  Who'd a thunk it coming from New Kids On The Block?

I tell you this in all honesty, I watched the series all in a row the first time I saw it (no HBO). I borrowed my buddies DVD's of it, and after that saturday night I was in shock...

hen a week or two later I heard about "Donnie" being in it. I said to myself NO FREAKING WAY! and then RE-WATCHED the whole series in order another saturday. I still couldn't pick him out. I finally went online looked hime up, and then knew the character.



I was blown away. I'll bet 95% that watched that series never knew that was donnie.
