Biography

Mark Wahlberg Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg was born one of 9 children. He grew up on the streets of Boston and developed a reputation less than stellar. Partly thanks to older brother Donnie being discovered and made a part of the original boy band, New Kids on the Block, Mark found his way on to the rap scene.

More praise was on its way for him in Three Kings, a story about the Gulf
