| 15 | Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg (born June 5, 1971 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American actor and former musician. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | After a troubled youth that saw numerous brushes with Johnny Law (along with committing numerous hate crimes against both Black and Asian people), Wahlberg's older brother Creator/{{Donnie|Wahlberg}} (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. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 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''. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | He has also served as the executive producer of ''Series/{{Entourage}}'' which is loosely based on his experiences as an up-and-coming actor. He was also an executive producer of ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'', and he appears in the A&E series ''Wahlburgers'', which focuses on his brother Paul's efforts to expand his restaurant business in Boston. |

| 77 | !! Tropes in Mark Wahlberg's acting work: |
| 78 | * CreatorBacklash: |
| 79 | ** From Inside the Actor's Studio, when asked his least favorite word: "Is Marky Mark a word?" |
| 80 | ** He once said that actress Amy Adams "dodged a bullet" by not getting cast in ''The Happening'' and described the film as as "a bad movie that I did." |
| 81 | * MotorMouth: One of his favorite acting moves; when his character is upset, angry, or scared, he starts to babble. |
| 82 | * MrFanservice: He made great use of his terrific physique to get his career off the ground, most famously in ads for Calvin Klein. |
| 83 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Possibly wisely, Wahlberg makes no attempt to alter his native accent, and just talks like the {{Southie|s}} he is, even when his characters are supposed to be from [[Film/FourBrothers Chicago]] or [[Film/{{Shooter}} Wyoming]], for instance. One of the only aversions came with his portrayal of Texan Mike Williams in ''Film/DeepwaterHorizon'', for which he uses a more southern dialect. |
| 84 | * SirSwearsALot: His roles can involve a decent amount of profanity. Taken up to eleven in ''The Departed'' where he barely goes one sentence without profanity. |
| 85 | * ShirtlessScene: Frequently. Lampooned a bit in ''Date Night'', where he is shirtless in every scene he's in. |
