Donnie Wahlberg is an American actor, singer, songwriter, and producer. He is a member of the boy band New Kids on the Block. He has also starred in the Saw films, The Sixth Sense, Dreamcatcher, and Righteous Kill. He is the executive producer and star of the A&E reality series Wahlburgers.

Wahlberg was born on August 17, 1969, in Boston, Massachusetts, the youngest of nine children. His mother, Alma Elaine (née Donnelly), was a bank clerk and a nurse’s aide, and his father, Donald Edward Wahlberg, Sr., was a delivery driver. He has eight older siblings: brothers Arthur, Jim, Paul, Robert, and Mark, and sisters Debbie, Michelle, and Donna. His mother is of Irish descent and his father is of Swedish descent. His paternal grandfather was from Gävle.

Wahlberg was raised Catholic. He attended Copley Square High School on Newbury Street in Boston. He never graduated, and so did not receive his high school diploma until June 2013, when he was 38 years old.

Wahlberg’s interest in acting began at an early age. When he was just 11 years old, he auditioned for a role in the film Explorers but was not cast. He then began acting in local theater productions.

Wahlberg’s film debut was in the 1986 film Bullet with a lead role. He followed this with roles in The Sixth Sense and Dreamcatcher. In 2004, he starred in the horror film Saw and its sequels Saw II and Saw III. He also starred in the crime drama Righteous Kill with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

Wahlberg has been married to actress Jenny McCarthy since 2014. They have two children together: son Evan Joseph Asher (born May 5, 2014) and daughter Vivienne Margaret (born November 2, 2016).

Wahlberg has a net worth of $20 million. He has earned his wealth through his acting roles, producing films, and his reality TV show.

Quotes

#Quote
1[following the Boston Marathon bombings] In the past few months I've discovered something different about Boston. Everyone can celebrate in times of glory, but when something horrific happens, when something unspeakable happens, that's not when cities come together, that's when families come together. And I think we've shown the world that we are just not one of the greatest cities on earth, we are one of the greatest families on the face of this Earth.

13Wahlberg is current developing a TV project that would tell the teen band's story from his own point of view.
14In 1999, during the teen pop revival, MTV tried to reunite the group and get them to perform on that years VMA's. All members were on board, except Jonathan - and so the performance didn't happen. In 2003, another attempt to coerce each of the boys to reunite was made for a one-night performance for the show "VH1's Bands Reunited." Jonathan this time agreed, as did Jordan - but Donnie, Joe and Danny all declined.
15Donnie produced, arranged, mixed and co-wrote "Music for the People" and "You Gotta Believe" the 1991 and 1992 hit albums from brother Mark's group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - which included a #1 hit with "Good Vibrations" and a multi-platinum album for the former. He also worked on the successful 1999 solo releases for NKOTB's Joey McIntyre and Jordan Knight.
16Originally called "Nynuk", the boy group eventually settled on the name New Kids On The Block after a rap song that Donnie had written for their debut album, which flopped upon initial release. However, the album would eventually sell over four million in response to the group's later popularity.
