 Wahlberg was also considered for a role in the film "Brokeback Mountain".It was originally intended to star Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix (with whom he appeared in the 2000 film "The Yards") as Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, respectively, but both actors were uncomfortable with the film's sex scenes.The roles ultimately went to Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, both of whom were nominated for Academy Awards for their performances.
