Mark Wahlberg

aka Marky Mark

"This was when I first got in, on the first tier, new man's section on the flat. I woke up. This dude was sticking his private area through the bars, letting some other dude lick on it. I was like, 'What the fuck?'"

Donnie Wahlberg's younger brother. Together they were the first two members of what would be New Kids on the Block, but Mark was fired after about six months.

The real truth about why I wasn't in New Kids was that I got kicked out because I couldn't sing. They can't either. It's all lip-sync, but I didn't want to lip-sync. I thought I had a great voice.

Met Ron Jeremy during the production of Boogie Nights.
