Formerly known as a Rapper and model, he is now an Actor and Television_producer. ==Biography== ===Early life=== Wahlberg was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts to Catholic parents Donald Edward Wahlberg and Alma Elaine Donnelly. His paternal grandfather, Axel Simon Wahlberg, was of Swedish descent, while the remainder of his ancestry is Irish.http://www.wargs.com/other/wahlberg.html He also graduated from Copley Square High School on Newbury Street in Boston, MA. According to ABC_News, as a teen Wahlberg had a history of "petty crime, drug dealing and racism." {{cquote|He harassed a group of African American school kids with racist epithets, and when he was 16, again using racist language, he attacked a middle-aged Vietnamese man and left the man blind in one eye. Wahlberg was arrested for attempted murder, plead guilty to assault, and spent 45 days in jail.}} http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=2509542&page;=1 ===Career=== Wahlberg first came to fame as the younger brother of Donnie_Wahlberg of the successful Bubblegum_pop group New_Kids_on_the_Block. Mark had been hired as an original member of the group but quit before it became a success. When the New Kids' success finally ended, Mark began recording as '''Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch''', earning a hit with ''Good Vibrations'' from the album ''Music for the People''. The record was produced by his brother Donnie. The second Marky Mark LP, ''You_Gotta_Believe'', was a relative failure. He briefly became embroiled in controversy when he appeared to endorse the Homophobic comments of fellow rapper Shabba_Ranks when they appeared as guests on the British chat show ''The Word.'' He later publicly dissociated himself from Ranks' comments, but after widespread media coverage.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000242/bio In the early 1990s, Wahlberg also became known for his impressive Physique. He first displayed it in the ''Good Vibrations'' Music_video and most prominently in a series of Underwear ads for Calvin_Klein shot by Herb_Ritts. He also made a workout video entitled ''The Marky Mark Workout: Fitness, Form, Focus''. He then began an acting career, making his debut in the 1993 TV_movie ''The_Substitute''. He has earned positive reviews and appeared in a number of successful movies like ''Boogie_Nights'', ''Three Kings'', ''The Perfect Storm'', ''Four_Brothers'', and ''The Italian Job''. Wahlberg recently starred in the football Drama, ''Invincible'', based on the true story of Vince_Papale. He is also the Executive_producer of the HBO series ''Entourage'' which is loosely based on his experiences in Hollywood. He also appeared as a Massachusetts_State_Police detective in Martin Scorsese's 2006 thriller, ''The_Departed''. ==Discography== with ''Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch'' * ''Music for the People'' (1991) * ''You Gotta Believe'' (1992) ==Selected filmography== *''The_Brazilian_Job'' (2008) ...
