Mark Wahlberg reflects on making Boogie Nights, recalling his initial hesitation to join the film. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, Boogie Nights was released in 1997, with a story that follows Wahlberg’s Dirk Diggler, a porn star, as he partners with an ambitious producer in the 1970s. The film was a big hit with critics and was nominated for three Oscars, including Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. Though it won none, Boogie Nights remains a seminal work in the careers of both Wahlberg and Anderson.
