The Six Billion Dollar Man: Mark Wahlberg on Why it’s Taken so Long to Make

With director Peter Berg’s Spenser Confidential now streaming on Netflix, I recently sat down with Mark Wahlberg for an exclusive interview. If you haven’t seen the trailers, Spenser Confidential is inspired by Robert B. Parker’s Wonderland, which is a novel by Ace Atkins that uses Parker’s famed character. The film is an action-comedy in which Spenser gets out of prison and decides to leave Boston for good. He’s an ex-cop better known for making trouble than solving it. But when two of Spenser’s former colleagues turn up murdered, he recruits a no-nonsense fighter named Hawk (Winston Duke) and his foul-mouthed ex-girlfriend Cissy (Iliza Shlesinger) to help him investigate and bring the culprits to justice. The movie also stars Alan Arkin as Spenser’s old boxing coach, Bokeem Woodbine, Post Malone, Marc Maron, and Colleen Camp.
