Seriously. I’m glad someone else said it before I did, (lest I come off as too harsh). But that kid cast as Spenser doesn’t look old enough to be out of high school. Why do all these upcoming performers look like carbon-copies of either Matt Damon or Mark Wahlberg? Just going on a mere glance at his face and build, of course –but he just doesn’t exude the confidence or experience which I associate with the character. Ditto for his companion. Hollywood just doesn’t like lined, wizened faces these days, I suppose.
I hope this doesn’t come as a surprise to you, but that is Mark Wahlberg who’s playing Spenser in this new series. He may still look young, but he must be close to 50. But in no way whatsoever does he look like Spenser to me.
Ha! Ha! Good one on me. I suppose I only possess a hazy mental image of Mr. Wahlberg pieced together over the years. But ‘a little goes a long way’, is all I can say. Seems like every time I turn around there’s someone else with a similar haircut, jawline, and wardrobe. Oh well. Thanks for settin’ me straight.

I don’t know about you, but to me this looks awful.

Marky Mark! That’s a hard pass here too.
