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.
