He was growing out his hair for the latter while filming The Departed, and the actor acknowledged that his hair looked “weird” in the movie. After getting extensions, Mark returned to set, and they wanted him to remove them. Despite the issues, Mark said that “it all worked out in the end.” “We had a couple of issues, but you know, ultimately I think when I read that particular role I was like, ‘Ok. This is a good role. This is an opportunity for me to really kind go off and have some fun,” he explained. Of course, it probably doesn’t hurt that the movie earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination! Did you know that Mark actually regrets another of his movies?
