Trivia: Celtics superfan, Donnie Wahlberg was in the movie, The Sixth Sense

A few of the Celtics players are changing their hairstyles this season this season, and that may make them harder to recognize on the court. Rookie Carsen Edwards would be a prime example.


Actors often have to change their appearance for various movie roles, and I broached a question to my followers as to the identity of the actor that portrayed the guy that shot Bruce Willis' character in the movie, The Sixth Sense. It is a bit of trivia, but the actor is none other than Celtics superfan, Donnie Wahlberg.






@Har2D2 got it right via Twitter. It was our very own superfan, Donnie Wahlberg, playing the shooter of Willis' character in the beginning of the movie, The Sixth Sense. Carsen Edwards' appearance changed dramatically with his new haircut, and Donnie definitely looked un-Donnie-like in the film.


Wahlberg is excited about this season's Celtics crew, and here is what he had to say about the players and the season (per CelticsWire's Justin Quinn):

The former New Kid on the Block (Wahlberg) was also pumped to see the team’s new editions (pun intended), gushing over Boston’s seven-player rookie class. “To see Carson [Edwards] out there and Grant [Williams] bang — and I mean, these young guys are making an impact already,” he said, adding:

I think this team’s gonna win everybody in Boston over, and around the league really soon. The young guys are going to surprise a lot of people, and there’s a flow — we’ve got a flow between Jaylen [Brown], Kemba [Walker], [Gordon] Hayward and [Jayson] Tatum.

The Boston native explained how even on nights like that one, when key offensive contributors struggled, the team’s buy-in on defense — including Walker’s — kept the team in the game in ways that reminded him of the 2017 Celtics.

Every team needs a superfan, and Donnie Wahlberg is ours. We love seeing him him on the sidelines, cheering his team on. Donnie is correct - "We've got a great flow" was his analysis, and I think all of us can see that.

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

By
  Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my   family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...

Wemby versus Kareem as rookies

By
 We already know that the Spurs Victor Wembanyama is going to be an NBA phenomenon, but will he surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by the end of his career. It is highly likely.  I did a "per-36-minutes" comparison between the two stars, mainly because Kareem logged 43.1 MPG in his rookie campaign - while Wemby has been held to only 29.4 MPG. Kareem: 24.1 PPG - 12.1 RPG - 3.4 APG - .518 FG - .653 FT Wemby:  25.9 PPG - 12.9 RPG - 4.5 APG - .463 FG - .796 FT No blocks, steals or 3-pointers were looked at since they were not tracked in Jabbar's first year in the NBA. It should also be noted that Kareem was 22 years old at the time, while Victor started at age 20. Two factors favoring Wembanyama ultimately surpassing Jabbar on any "Best-of-All-Time" charts are his point guard skills , shared by so many European players.  and the fact he is being mentored by Gregg Popovich. His potential seems astounding. But the question remains. Can he garner six Titles and six MVP ...
