Agreed but he was picked over Macaulay Culkin to play this role which to me is an accomplishment bc back then Macauley was the bigger star back in the day but I think he wasn’t chosen specifically mainly bc he was too old for the part by then.
I just realized how much, Mark was pain in the ass to Reggie. After all the things she did, trying to Mark and his family. He give her attitude and put her in danger as well as his family, in real life she would be glad that she doesn’t see him anymore.
Mark was just an 11 year old child who also had a very rough upbringing with an abusive drunken father and was desperate to find the mysterious body so him and his family can finally put an end to everything that was happening to them. He gave Reggie a break and started trusting her once she opens up and allows him to understand her as well. In order to gain trust you gotta communicate. Reggie missed her children to and I think that’s why she desperately wanted to help Mark to make up what she lost with her own kids. To fill a void. Plus she didn’t wanna fail Mark like everyone else did. She wanted to help him find the good in people again too.
