PROFILE   |  JACK BLACK

The comic actor recreates famous movies with a home video camera in Be Kind Rewind

• Actor Jack Black was born on 28 August 1969, in California.
• He was studying at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) when he became a member of an acting group headed by Hollywood heavyweight Tim Robbins. It was through him that Black won a minor role in a movie for the first time, Bob Roberts (1992).
• While wider fame still eluded him, Black appeared as a guest character in the hit TV series The X Files in 1993.
• A decade later he was one of the Hollywood stars to make a cameo in the comedy series Will & Grace.
• His breakthrough role was as the snobbish and eccentric record store clerk Barry, in the 2000 movie High Fidelity. The film adaptation of Nick Hornby’s book of the same name was a monster hit, and Black’s performance – culminating in his rendition of the Marvin Gaye song Let’s Get It On at the movie’s end – transformed his career for good.
• In 2006 Black showed his range by appearing in both The Holiday, with a relatively straight part as the love interest of Kate Winslet’s character, and Nacho Libre, a slapstick tale of a ridiculous super-hero.
• He is currently one of the most successful comic actors working today, and is famous for his physical style of acting, which evokes old-fashioned comedy. Black has also been compared to contemporary actors like Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.
