Mark Wahlberg - Inside the Actors Studio
Nov. 28th, 2007 02:52 pmAs a young teenager, Mark Wahlberg participated in several violent acts for which he was charged, later claiming to have been in trouble 20-25 times with the Boston Police Department as a youth. At 15 he harassed a group of African American school children on a field trip by throwing rocks (causing injuries) and shouting epithets.
When he was sixteen (again using racist language), Wahlberg knocked one middle aged Vietnamese man unconscious with a wooden stick, and left another Vietnamese man permanently blinded in one eye. Wahlberg has said that he has no recollection of the incident because he passed out just before the police caught him.
For these crimes, Wahlberg was charged for attempted murder, pled guilty to assault, and was sentenced to 2 years in jail at Boston's Deer Island House of Correction, of which he served 45 days.
In yet another incident when he was 21 Wahlberg fractured the jaw of a neighbor in an unprovoked attack.
