I had problems with Marty. He was "I'm Martin Scorsese But it wasn't just Marty. By the time Wahlberg had emerged from prison, his older brother Donnie had rocketed to stardom as one of five fresh-faced members of the pop band New Kids on the Block.

Donnie soon decided to help his younger brother find his own niche in the music business. What Mark Wahlberg lacked in singing ability, he made up for in charisma and good looks; he took on the name of Marky Mark, and with a DJ, backup dancers dubbed "the Funky Bunch" and Donnie's producing help, he recorded a debut album, Music for the People Driven by the success of the hit singles "Good Vibrations" and "Wildside" — and by Marky Mark's readiness to discard his clothes onstage and in his videos — the album went platinum.

One of pop music's hottest new commodities, Wahlberg and his rock-hard physique became even more ubiquitous when he signed a two-year contract with the designer Calvin Klein to model underwear. His raucous public persona — he once was involved in a much-talked-about brawl with Madonna 's entourage at a Los Angeles nightclub — only served to increase his popular appeal, until news began surfacing about his criminal past and his possibly racist and homophobic tendencies.

In this part of Wahlberg's personal life was seriously questioned when he was accused of condoning blatantly homophobic remarks made on a British talk show by his fellow guest, reggae singer Shabba Ranks. Combined with the disappointing sales of the Funky Bunch's second album, You Gotta Believe , the public criticism of Wahlberg's career seemed to be steering his career towards certain death.

The year-old's survival instincts kicked in, however, and he soon made a move into another realm of the entertainment world — acting. After appearing in a television movie, The Substitute , Wahlberg made his big screen debut in Penny Marshall 's Renaissance Man , playing one of a group of Army recruits taught by Danny DeVito 's ex-advertising salesman. His innate screen presence led to his casting in his breakthrough role, that of the drug-addled best friend of Leonardo DiCaprio 's character in The Basketball Diaries , a small-scale but acclaimed film based on poet-musician Jim Carroll's autobiography of his adolescent struggles with heroin addiction.

After two more attention-getting performances in Fear and Traveller , Wahlberg cemented his artistic and commercial reputation with a starring role as dishwasher turned porn star Eddie Adams a.

Though his next two films — The Big Hit and The Corruptor — were less than successful, Wahlberg returned with a bang in the acclaimed Three Kings In Wahlberg re-teamed with Clooney and Diane Lane in The Perfect Storm , an adaptation of Sebastian Junger's best-selling account of a boat full of fishermen caught in a killer storm in the North Atlantic. In Wahlberg picked up his first Academy Award nomination for his work on the crime drama The Departed.

Branching out into science fiction, Wahlberg starred in M. Night Shyamalan's thriller The Happening.

The movie proved to be a disappointment both critically and commercially.
