mark wahlberg and one of a kind


is it just me or is mark wahlberg in boogie nights (in his leanest days) a spitting image of Stu Unger. he would have played this part perfectly hes a terrific actor, has the confidence and street credibitlity to pull it off. After reading One of a Kind, this film does't seem to do 'The Kid' justice, he was an great mind with a very exciting, eventful life and most of the world dont even know who he is. This movie seemed to bland and lacked in depth explaining his life with his kids and his parents, the writers opted for the mystical more fictional storyline which in my opinion was a mistake. They should definitly make another film about Stu Unger explaining the actual person he was because he was the only person with a mind that extraordinary who grew up in tough circles and embraced it they way he did.

You tell me if they look the same:

Mark Walhberg - http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2050792192/nm0000242?ref_=nm_ov_ph


Stu Unger - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stu_Unger#mediaviewer/File:Stu_Ungar.jpg


Uh, no. I don't think so. Get some glasses.

Actually, I had seen Stu Unger many times... early days and his very bad days. A young Steve Buscemi would have been perfect.
