3. Staff Sgt. Dignam - The Departed (2006)
While this performance may not be worthy of an academy award, it is definitely worthy of the MoviesPig top three. Why? Simply because it is hilarious. Wahlberg as Dignam is an instant classic.
2. Tommy Corn - I Heart Huckabees (2004)
Tommy Corn in David O. Russell's (The Fighter, Three Kings) "I Heart Huckabees" is not your average person. He is a character. Tommy may be a buff, handsome firefighter, but he is constantly striving to get a grasp on what life and the universe really are.
1. Dirk Diggler - Boogie Nights (1997)
Paul Thomas Anderson's "Boogie Nights" isn't just one of the greatest films of all time. It stars one of the greatest characters of all time as well. Dirk Diggler started off as just a kid with a huge penis, jerking off for people for money, but he took his talent and turned it into something special. Dirk Diggler's eagerness to learn and determination are what ultimately made him a star. He wasn't just in it for the money. He really wanted to make a difference in the world. Wahlberg's breakout performance as Diggler really showed that he could be a serious actor and it gave us a taste of what was to come. That is why Dirk Diggler is MoviesPig's pick as Mark Wahlberg's number one performance.
