Controversial actor Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg turns 38 years old on June 5, 2009.  The actor also known as “Marky Mark” or “Monk D” was born in Boston, Massachusetts and became famous in his 1991 debut as a rap musician with the band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

Wahlberg, was a Teamster who worked as a delivery driver; the two divorced in 1982.  Wahlberg had a Catholic upbringing and attended Copley Square High School (but never graduated) on Newbury Street in Copley Square in Boston. The campus now houses Muriel Snowden International School.

As a teenager, Wahlberg was implicated in several acts of violence and vandalism. At fifteen, he was amongst a group who threw rocks at a group of African American school children on a field trip while shouting racial epithets; the rocks hit their targets and caused several injuries. The following year,
Wahlberg robbed a pharmacy while he was under the influence of PCP. During the commission of the crime, he again used racial epithets. He knocked one middle aged Vietnamese man unconscious and permanently blinded another in one eye before he was arrested by the police.
