Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg (born June 5, 1971) is an American actor and former musician. After a troubled youth that saw numerous brushes with Johnny Law, Wahlberg's older brother Donnie (of the Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock) arranged an entry-point into the music business (though personal agreements made him decide against permanently joining the New Kids). Now styling himself as Marky Mark (accompanied by the Funky Bunch), Wahlberg became a rap star. Their most successful single was "Good Vibrations" (not to be confused with Music/TheBeachBoys song). This period in his career is often regarded as being rather {{Narm}}y, even by fans and Wahlberg himself. By the mid-1990s, he began to make the transition into acting, and became an even bigger success than before, both commercially and, with his role in ''Film/BoogieNights'', critically. He even earned an [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]] nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in ''Film/TheDeparted''.

* ''The Basketball Diaries'' (1996)

* ActorAllusion: There is some self-lampooning in regard to Wahlberg's musical past in ''Rock Star'': During the credits, his character says he'll leave rock and attempt to do rap. While "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark is playing in the background.

* {{Motormouth}}: One of his favorite acting moves. Watch his movies, you'll see it.

* {{Jerkass}} He beat one Vietnamese man near to death with a bat after stealing beer from his store, and then beat another with his fists. On both occasions he was yelling racial slurs as he brutally beat them. He also threw rocks at a 4 year old black girl while also yelling racial slurs at her. He suffered no real consequence and has shown no remorse whatsoever for his crimes, even making jokes of them, and still believes he deserves a pardon.
