He stars in the upcoming Netflix film Spenser Confidential and on Thursday night Mark Wahlberg headlined the Los Angeles premiere for the movie which is based on the novel by Robert B. Parker. The actor, 48, who also serves as a producer on the project, looked dapper in a dove gray suit as he posed for photos.

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week to promote Spenser Confidential, Wahlberg spoke about his character and the film's plot: `He was a former police officer who just basically cannot stand when somebody is being wronged, especially innocent people,` he began.

`So there's a homicide within the police department, there's a lot of corruption going on. He tries to do all the things right to get them to find out who's responsible, they're kind of sandbagging the investigation, so he decides to go after his superiors himself,` he said.
