Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg is an actor and singer who first entered the world of show business as the lead singer of the band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. His band released the song ‘Good Vibrations’ which became a No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. Their debut album ‘Music for the People’ was also a big hit. Growing up as the youngest of nine children in a broken home, he was exposed to drugs and violence from a young age. He was in serious trouble with the law by the time he was 16; he was charged with attempted murder at such a young age and jailed for his involvement in a savage assault. Sensing that he had hit rock bottom he vowed to rise above a life of crime and become a respectable individual. His brother Donnie who had a successful boy band called ‘New Kids on the Block’ introduced him to music. Music literally rescued the young Mark from a life of drugs and violence and gave him a new purpose in life. Motivated by his success as a musician he forayed into acting and made his debut in the 1993 TV movie ‘The Substitute’. He also launched a line of sports nutrition supplements called ‘Marked’ before entering the world of films.
