| "Mark Wahlberg Waits for Hollywood's A-Listers to Pass on Roles, Becomes a Producer 'Out of Necessity' " Mark Wahlberg has been one of the most popular and well-known figures in Hollywood for decades, and it appears he has had to work even harder than most to earn his well-deserved success. In a new interview with Variety, the actor reveals he felt it necessary to take a producing role in order to take advantage of roles that were being passed up by his Tinseltown colleagues. The former rapper wanted access to roles that were being offered to A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, and Brad Pitt, but he found that these actors were often passing up those parts. This created an opportunity for Wahlberg, who decided to take it upon himself to produce films in order to get his hands on the roles he wanted. He explains, “When you start to see Leonardo DiCaprio, or Brad Pitt, or Tom Cruise pass on something, you’ve got to make moves. So I became a producer out of necessity to be able to access the kinds of stories and roles that I wanted.” The actor was also inspired by the success of many of his peers who ventured into the producing space, remarking, “And it’s something I’ve been very proud and fortunate to be able to do. The height of success for me is to be able to make films that I’m proud to be a part of and be able to provide opportunities for other actors.” Wahlberg's commitment and ambition have certainly paid off. Throughout his career, he has had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and embody a variety of different characters. He has become one of the few actors who can stand atop the lofty heights of stardom that Brad Pitt and his contemporaries have occupied for years.
