Jack Black is a well-known American actor, musician and public figure. Now his film career has begun to decline, as he devotes more time to his rock band, in which he is a soloist. However, his talent was marked by two nominations for the Golden Globe Award.
Early eighties
Jack was born on August 28, 1969 in a small town in the southern United States of America, in the state of California. His mother was Jewish, and his father was a Scot, both parents had the profession of engineer. Unfortunately, their marriage was not strong enough, and when the boy turned ten, they decided to formalize the gap. Surprisingly, the child was left to live with his father.
Of course, Jack went to visit his mother, but their relationship was not close enough, and after entering the University of California at Los Angeles, they completely stopped communicating. The divorce of parents, moving and a lot of free time led to the fact that in childhood the boy often fought, hooliganized and talked with the police. Then few people would have thought that in the future this guy would become successful. He seemed to be trying to get into a correctional facility.
Change
Life gave a sharp turn when Jack enrolled in a theater studio, located right at his school. The young man liked to make faces in front of a full hall of people, he was artistic, liberated and completely devoid of fear of public speaking. By the way, it was because of the love of antics that Black never graduated from the university. He decided to devote himself to show business.
A talented teenager first appeared on a blue screen in a commercial on local television. The real filmography of Jack Black begins with a role in the movie “The Escaping Guy” at the age of fourteen. The debut was successful, and he was followed by new roles in big movies and TV shows. Unfortunately, not all films in which Jack Black starred in Russian were duplicated in Russian. His filmography contains such beautiful paintings as “Mars Attacks!”, “Johnny Vulture”, “Enemy of the State” and many others.
Moment of glory
There are roles that the artist himself considers successful. This, for example, is a salesman in a music store in the comedy Fanatic directed by John Cusack.
