The crew from "Dirty Water TV," including Christian Fauria and Billy Fairweather, paid a visit to "The Fighter" set in Lowell this week. Mark Wahlberg, who plays brawler "Irish" Micky Ward in the film, gave the gang a behind-the-scenes tour, and dished a little about "Entourage," the HBO series he executive produces.
