I didn't know Mark Wahlberg was a felon.... It looks like it's true... according to wikipedia (amongst many others)...

Wahlberg developed cocaine and freebase habits at around the ages of 13 or 14. As a teenager, Wahlberg participated in several acts of violence for which he was arrested, later claiming to have been arrested 20-25 times by the Boston Police Department as a youth. At 15 he harassed a group of African American school children on a field trip by throwing rocks (causing injuries) and shouting racist epithets. While under the influence of angel dust when he was 16 (and again using racist language) he knocked a middle aged Vietnamese man unconscious with a wooden stick and left another Vietnamese man permanently blind in one eye. For these crimes Wahlberg was arrested for attempted murder, pled guilty to assault, and spent 45 days in jail at Boston's Deer Island House of Correction. In yet another incident when he was 21 Wahlberg fractured the jaw of a neighbour in an unprovoked attack.

I wonder why the producers of the new movie "Shooter" would even cast an anti-gun asshole in such a role?
