Day 156: Marky Mark

This morning I noticed it is the birthday of one of my favorite actors: Mark Wahlberg. Although he is not just an actor anymore. This gut grew up in one of the roughest neighboorhoods in Boston. Had some criminal activities during that time and actually did some time in jail for that.

He was the youngest member of New Kids On the Block and later started a rap career as Marky Mark. After that he starred in a Calvin Klein commercial and became an actor.

Besides acting he is meanwhile also producing. He is one of the producers of my all time favorite serie Entourage. Ballers is also great serie which he produces.

Meanwhile he is also building his empire as a business men with a chain of burger restaurants, car dealerships, a water company etc etc.

In celebration of his birthday I’m sharing my favorite Wahlberg movies. Enjoy!

Dockery, the commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and Mark Wahlberg, an American actor, pose for pictures at a grand-opening ceremony for an F45 Training gym on MCAS Miramar, San Diego, California, on June 11, 2021. The F45 Training gym ceremony was conducted to promote awareness of the new training facility, and a select few had the opportunity to work out alongside Wahlberg during the event.
