Bob Lee Swagger is the name of the character Mark Wahlberg plays in 2007’s “Shooter.” Swagger’s the hero of a long series of books by author Stephen Hunter. Nicknamed “Bob the Nailer,” he’s an ex-Marine corps sniper with 391 kills and supernatural quick-draw abilities to rival the Sundance Kid. Bob Lee’s dad Earl, basso profundo-voiced and similarly gun-talented, was a lawman, and has a whole series unto himself.
