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.
The Iran-Contra Affair, or âIrangate,â may not have happened were it not for the political climate in the early 1980s. President Ronald Reagan, who won the White House in 1980, wasnât able to maintain the momentum for his Republican colleagues, and the GOP was swept from the majority in both the Senate and House of Representatives in the 1982 mid-term elections.
