...hard-core porn actor. "This new movie of his is going to make him a star," predicts DreamWorks mogul David Geffen, an early Wahlberg mentor. "He's built a legitimate career for himself, which he did not have as a recording artist. There's something about Mark, a sexy bad-boy vibe, that's very appealing.
