Not many male stars have gone from being a hit model and rapper to one of America’s favorite actors.Marky Mark, a name he would like to forget, became famous when he played with the Funky Bunch. A few years later, Wahlberg reinvented himself and transitioned into acting.
At first he played smaller roles in movies like Boogie Nights and Three Kings but by 2000 he had the starring roles in The Perfect Storm, Planet of the Apes and The Departed. Since then, he has starred in several films and also became an executive producer for hits like Boardwalk Empire and Entourage. If that wasn’t enough, he also started the food chain Wahlburgers and co-stars in his family’s hit reality television show with the same name.
