Mark Wahlberg has played many roles. He's been a detective, boxer, and even a bodybuilder in the recent film Pain and Gain. To play these parts, Wahlberg always has to look the part. Luckily, he's a heavyweight actor who loves to lift heavy weights, so he never fails.
Iran-Contra Affair, 1980s U.S. political scandal in which the National Security Council (NSC) became involved in secret weapons transactions and other activities that either were prohibited by the U.S. Congress or violated the stated public policy of the government.
What became known as the Iran-Contra Affair led, in 1987, to Senate hearings, whose purpose was to try to determine the extent of President Reagan's personal involvement. Ronald Reagan's defense that he had been unaware tarnished his image somewhat, but it left no lasting stain on his presidency.
