Early-life:
Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg was born on June 5, 1971, in Boston, Massachusetts. The youngest of nine children, his mother was a bank clerk and his father a delivery driver. He didn't graduate from high school. He had a troubled youth, but at 13 was in the original line-up of the New Kids on the Block.

Career:
Wahlberg's film career kicked off in 1993 with TV movie The Substitute. A year later he made his big-screen debut in flop comedy Renaissance Man.

By 2000 he was a Hollywood hot property with roles in Three Kings and The Perfect Storm. Although a revamp of Planet of the Apes divided critics, Wahlberg delivered fine turns in The Italian Job remake, Four Brothers, I Heart Huckabees, The Departed and The Fighter. He is also a respected producer, with credits on Entourage, In Treatment, Boardwalk Empire, and How to Make It In America.
