‘Invincible’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

In 2006, actor Mark Wahlberg donned the football pads of former Philadelphia Eagles player Vince Papale for the film, Invincible. He told the story of the South Philadelphia bartender who overcame long odds to play for the team during the 1976 season. Papale ultimately remained with the Eagles through the 1978 season and primarily worked as a wide receiver and on special teams. Prior to a shoulder injury that ended his career, Papale appeared in 41 of a possible 44 games and recovered two fumbles.

Wahlberg was the main actor in Invincible, but he joined a stacked list of stars for the Disney film. Greg Kinnear portrayed former NFL head coach Dick Vermeil while Kevin Conway played Papale’s father. The list continued with several stars in major and minor roles alike. Where are these actors 14 years down the road?
