How come the Wahlberg Brothers never did a movie together?
Whenever one of their movies portrays Donnie Wahlberg with "brothers," they never cast one of his many brothers (I believer there are 9).
Same thing with Mark Wahlberg movies. I know they consider "Donnie Wahlberg" to be the inferior actor of the two, but I still think it would add credence to a film to have them working together.
OT: did Donnie lose all his hair? Looks like he sports a rug now.

In that movie, a lot of real-life brothers played "brothers:"
David Carradine ... Cole Younger
Keith Carradine ... Jim Younger
Robert Carradine ... Bob Younger
James Keach ... Jesse James
Stacy Keach ... Frank James
Dennis Quaid ... Ed Miller
Randy Quaid ... Clell Miller
Christopher Guest ... Charlie Ford
Nicholas Guest ... Bob Ford

Re: How come the Wahlberg Brothers never did a movie together?
As far as I know, Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty never made a movie together. Nor did James Arness and Peter Graves. All four are still alive, so there's always a possibility. Not so for Dana Andrews and Steve Forrest. Or Scott Brady and Lawrence Tierney, neither set of brothers having made a movie together, as far as I can tell.
Oops, I'm wrong...Steve Forrest's first film role was a bit part as a sailor in his big brother Dana's wartime Technicolor submarine film, CRASH DIVE. Steve was 19 at the time and Dana was 35!

Looks like Donnie's greatest achievement as an actor was his work done in Band of Brothers.

Like, it would have been cool if Donnie and Mark Wahlberg were "brothers" in Ransom, instead of casting Liev Schreiber as Clark Barnes. Should have been Mark Wahlberg as "Cubby Barnes" brother.

Re: How come the Wahlberg Brothers never did a movie together?
so can we list all the Wahlbergs and list all their highest achievements? Cuz from what it sounds like...Mark Wahlberg is the only one to give a damn about. There aren't 9 of them is there?

They did just team up. Mark was the star of The Happening, and Donnie cameoed as an angry fern.

Well, not a PUBLIC film, anyway.
If one is to believe the new Beatty biography, he left no stone unturned in his scorched earth march through Hollywood.
Shirley probably just wrote it off as a 'past life' experience.

"Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark is the theme song for "The Sixth Sense" which starred Donnie Wahlberg.
