with Mark Wahlberg on Oct 14, 1997
Mark Wahlberg was a pop singer and an underwear model before becoming a Hollywood star. He was briefly part of the original New Kids On The Block, the band of Boston city kids whose factory-made pop dance tunes overwhelmed the charts in the 1980’s. He then formed Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch and became a pop idol in his own right, famous for his innocuous dance tunes and oft-exposed briefs.
Wahlberg turned to acting, debuting in TV’s ‘The Substitute’ in 1993, and earning nods from critics for his portrayal of Dirk Diggler in 1997’s ‘Boogie Nights’. His films credits include ‘Three Kings’, ‘The Perfect Storm’, ‘The Planet of the Apes’, ‘The Truth About Charlie’, and the re-make of ‘The Italian Job’. He is also the executive producer of the HBO series ‘Entourage’. Wahlberg was nominated for a best-supporting actor Oscar in 2007 for his role in Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Departed’.
