“It was (johnny) Drama who motivated Wahlberg to give acting a real try. Drama's own less-than-fruitful efforts to make it as an actor resulting only in his nickname. He saw that his friend Mark had something special. "Drama tell me all the time, 'You idiot. All you wanted to do was to stay in your mom's basement, go to Gold's gym, and then go get a fried Haddock sandwich" Walhberg says. "And it's true." Also, his brother Donnie set him pas a rapper - Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - opening for his very big group, New Kids on the Block.”
