Taylor Lautner Was 'Perfect' as Porn Star Dirk Diggler

Taylor Lautner wears his favorite New York Yankees hat while leaving the Smith House Steak Restaurant on Saturday (October 19) in Los Angeles.

The 21-year-old actor played the part of Dirk Diggler, originally played by Mark Wahlberg, in a live reading of the film Boogie Nights earlier this month and he received some glowing reviews for his role in the reading!

“Lautner was perfect,” a reviewer for Entertainment Weekly wrote. “He captured Diggler’s earnestness, sweet stupidity and eventual megalomania with an easy grace that makes you wonder why he hasn’t been given more interesting roles in films. Or maybe Diggler is just the perfect part for him.”

Congrats on the success Taylor!
