Definitely Common. There's no better actor known mostly for music (Foxx and Smith are both better, but they're both known as actors, not singers).

No way , he is a good actor

The Gunslinger45 06-28-15 05:35 PM

Hey he was in a Shyamalan movie, that man sucks out acting talent worse then George Lucas in the prequels!

I actually think Wahlberg is quite good when he wants to be (I loved his role in the Departed but that wasn't a very serious role he was pretty much just an ******* but he was still good). Even every good actor has those bad movie roles or bad movies.(Except maybe Day Lewis but he does like a movie every 100 years)

I thought Mick Jagger was good in Performance, and he's been in other movies.

Blondie was good in Videodrome.

I always like Queen Latifah.

Although I haven't seen them, Bjork in Dancer in the Dark and Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls.
