The Substitute is a 1993 television movie, directed by Martin Donovan, starring Amanda Donohoe, Dalton James and Natasha Gregson Wagner. The film marks Mark Wahlberg (credited as Marky Mark) his first acting role.
High school teacher Gayle Richardson finds out her husband is cheating on her. She murders both him and his mistress in an outburst of rage. One year later, she has moved to another school under an assumed name. However, news about her past starts to re-emerge, forcing her to embark on yet another killing spree to protect her identity and her crimes.
Wahlberg was at the beginning of his career, and accordingly was cast in a secondary role (as "Marky Mark"). He consequently did not feature prominently in publicity at the time. However, in recent DVD issues, he has been depicted on the front cover, as a composite image with his face clearly overlaid on a stand-in's body.
