ROTTEN TOMATOES: Wahlberg Upset Over Saw IV Cameo Comments

Wahlberg Upset Over Saw IV Cameo

by Fred Topel | July 18, 2007

Summary

Most actors are happy when they get asked back to a role. Not Donnie Wahlberg. Though left for dead at the end of Saw II, he was granted more screen time in Saw III. That seemed to be the end, but it looks like there's more Wahlberg in Saw IV. Back to Article

If he's so annoyed, he could've just......refused the part?

wow dude, uuuungrateful? talk about the check you got then...i'm guessing you were there on set for a couple of days and got paid a decent amount for basically doing what a monkey could do(the acting is really terrible in this series). shutup and just deal. its a crap movie anyway...get over it dude. such a shame...when a grown man gets paid thousands to stand there...and talk. my god, that poor poor guy...sniff sniff...

Plenty. He has a series with John Leguizamo that starts (I believe) this Sunday. Like someone said, it may be contractual, but I'm betting they are using footage they already shot. Between this series and his role in "Dead Silence," I think Donnie is better off sticking with TV roles. (He was great in the criminally short-lived "Boomtown")

he just said he didn't want to talk about it...people ask me how my day at work went and I often times say the same thing...of course my job sucks...
"Hey honey how was your day? Did you die?"
"No, they kept me alive. I don't want to talk about it."

I hear a New Kids on the Block reunion could be in the offing. They'll open for the Spice Girls and he could be an intregal part in the reconstituted Funky Bunch now that Mark is too famous to be their front man.

i'm sure he wasn't REALLY angry or upset, or else he would have refused the part. he probably just thought his character wouldn't work being alive anymore

ah well

As much as I enjoy this series, I'm always a little worried that the writers are writing themselves into a corner with each installment that they make - which is especially concerning, given how young the Saw series still is.

so now instead of being taken to a page that says 'your comment has successfully been posted' or whatever, it says it directly above the area you write your comment in, without removing the editable text box. it's confusing to all of us.
it also looks like we lost the ability to swear. that's bull****. I liked this site cause it let us swear. not JUST because of that, but that was a great, grown-up choice.

That would be cool if Saw IV was about Jigsaw torturing the New Kids On The Block and Donnie Wahlberg was the only on who survived and then became a detective. I think Johnathan Knight would die in the first 5 minutes, then Danny would have to die next. Come to think about it thats a good idea for a franchise. Have a boogey man Kill old Has beens staring old has beens TM. See I already trademarked that idea so go ahead and try to steal it Wienstiens.

You know that Saw IV is going to suck if Donnie Wahlberg is pissed that he is in it. A movie that D-Listers don't even want to be a part of? You would think Mr. Old Kid on the Block would appreciate any work/money he can get! I think if they would have ended the franchise the way part 3 ended they would end with a little bit of dignity but it sounds to me like all they are worried about now is they money....much like the rest of cinema these days!

this is actually prretty ****ing entertaining ****ing blog here. i just want to thank each of you ****ers for having the ****ing balls to really say what you ****ing think about. and at ****ing donnie wahlberg's expense. i could give a **** less about SAW IV or any other ****ing lame *** remakes they plan on doing. what ****ing idiot is sitting at the big money table and is like hmmmm. Ace Vetura 3.... I love it! lets go right to work on that. you know i hear that all of the good movies have been made already. what ****ing logic is that!? have all the writiers in holliwood skiped town? i digress... anway... back to donnie ****ing walberg... of course he doing it, he probably realised we the comment was made was a ****ing stupid move and that maybe just maybe he should just ****ing be thankfull for what he has. hey donnie you ***** *** *****. did they interview you in you airconditioned trailor while there rest of the crew was sweating their balls off... get the **** out of showbusiness. nobody likes a whiner. and really you are not that good of a ****ing actor anyway. and i don't think he was making thousands. maybe thousands a minute. someone should Check IMDB that might have what he pulls in a picture. go back to singing you *****.

ok Boss Fan. i'll be a little more polite. i admit i was having a little fun. I think he was in Saving Private Ryan? and he wasn't bad in that. but man. i don't follow him. But these actors get paid more than some people make in an entire year. for 3 minutes of on screen time. if he has a problem. don't go to the press. talk with your agent. cause when folks like me read that ****. i won't see your movie. you won't make money from me. you've already made you money *****. with your boy bad. just quit while your ahead hotshot. i'm not going to bring you your evian of late' to your trailor. walk the **** down to craft services like every other normal ****er that puts his pants on the same as you. maybe we can throw rose pedals down in from of you so your danty **** feet don't get dirty. ah i stick to my original comment... **** him...

Donnie has been in a few things since New Kids. I really don't think money is a issue (considering how much the New Kids Made - Do you know as of their last album in the early 90's NKOTB had made more the Michael Jackson and Madonna combined! . He has also co-wrote and produced music - including he produced and co-wrote Marky Mark and the Funky Bunchs first 2 albums and worked on both solo releases for NKOTB's Joseph McIntyre and Jordan Knight in 1999.

He has stared in since 1996 (and other roles not mentioned here) - "Ransom", "Boomtown" (T.V Series 2 seasons), Main roll in "Southie" (which was a good movie actually), "The Sixth sense" (as the guy that shot Bruce in the start most people don't know this cause of all the weight he had to lose for the role), "Band Of Brothers", "Dreamcatcher" as Duddits, "Saw 2 & 3", "Annapolis", "Kings Of South Beach" (big hit TV movie), "Dead Silence" (he was kinda odd in this one), Right now he is in "The Kill Point" a mini series that is getting lots of viewers and awesome ratings and is a good show and his acting is top notch in it, and in 2008/2009 is going to be a main actor alone side movie legends Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the movie "Righteous Kill" that starts filming around September. All his roles have been really well acted and strong roles... But Donnie likes to play a cop the most (But I have not heard yet if he'll be one of the cops or the serial killer in the new movie). So I like the guy IMO he is the only New Kid left that still has balls (Besides people seem to forget or don't know that Mark Wahlberg was once a New Kid himself ;) ) Way to go Donnie... See you in future movies.

Donnie Wahlberg is an amazing f*ing actor and anybody who thinks otherwise wouldn't know good acting if it smacked them across their f*ing face! I just think that he was upset that they are dragging his character through all of the sequels when Det. Matthews was supposed to die in Saw II! I am proud to say that I have been a fan of Donnie Wahlberg from the minute I first laid eyes on him and I will be a fan until the day I die.

I honestly don't understand what the huge dilemma is over this situation, and I am sure Donnie has a good reason for his response. I would also like to note that Saw IV, starring Donnie Wahlberg, was number one at the box office this weekend making $30 million, unlike his so called "better-acting" brother whose recent films haven't even made it into the top 2 (We Own the Night and Shooter)!
If you don't like Donnie, then don't worry about his comments...
