* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Wahlberg claims to have been in trouble 20–25 times with the Boston Police Department as a youth. By the age of 13, he had developed an addiction to cocaine and other substances. He also committed racist hate crimes in his teens; at 15, he threw rocks shouted racial epithets at a group of black schoolkids, and at 16, he knocked a middle-aged Vietnamese man unconscious and left another Vietnamese man permanently blind in one eye.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: He went far out of his way to get ''[[The Fighter]]'' made. His career in general contains a much higher percentage of serious drama than one might reasonably expect from a former rapper.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: He trained every day for four years waiting for ''[[The Fighter]]'' (where he played a boxer) to escape Development Hell.
* [[Hollywood New England]]: Averted. A native Bostonian, he is one of the relatively few major stars who can credibly do an accent from there (others including the aforementioned Damon and [[Ben Affleck]]).
* [[Massive-Numbered Siblings]]: He's the youngest of nine children.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: One of his favorite acting moves. Watch his movies, you'll see it.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: He made great use of his terrific physique to get his career off the ground, most famously in ads for Calvin Klein.
* [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent]]: Possibly wisely, Wahlberg makes no attempt to alter his native accent, and just talks like the [[Southies|Southie]] he is, even when his characters are supposed to be from [[Four Brothers|Chicago]] or [[Shooter|Wyoming]], for instance.
* [[Old Shame]]: His music, to a great extent.
** Some of his earlier films as well, such as ''Fear''.
* [[Rags to Riches]]
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Not infrequently.
* [[Triple Nipple]]: He has three nipples. No, really, he actually [https://web.archive.org/web/20101229133610/http://cdn.crushable.com/files/2010/12/Mark_Wahlberg_012.jpg has three nipples]. He calls his smaller third nipple his "prized possession".
