Black spent most of the mid- and late-1990s in relative obscurity, frequently playing offbeat sidekick characters. That all changed in 2000, however, with the release of High Fidelity, Stephen Frears's hilarious adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel. Black, who played a music-store clerk with an unlimited reserve of music trivia, stole many scenes from star John Cusack. Saving Silverman, co-starring Steve Zahn, followed the breakout role, though the film was a critical and commercial flop. Black made his debut as the leading man in the Farrelly Brothers' romantic comedy Shallow Hall (2001), opposite Gwyneth Paltrow. He played the superficial title character who fell for Paltrow's 300–pound Peace Corps volunteer after being hypnotized to only see inner beauty.

Black, a dual-career entertainer, has earned a cult following for his comic rock band Tenacious D, which he calls “a Smothers Brothers for the Dungeons and Dragons misfits set.” He formed the group in 1994 with guitarist Kyle Gass. They were members of Los Angeles' Actors' Gang, a troupe organized by Tim Robbins. Black made his stage debut in the group's production of Carnage. Black and Robbins also collaborated in the films Bob Roberts (1999), Dead Man Walking (1995), and Cradle Will Rock (1999).

Black Jack Historia

Product of rocket science

Jack Black was born April 7, 1969, in Santa Monica, California, to Tom and Judy Black, both satellite engineers. In a 2003 Newsweek interview with Devin Gordon, Black admitted it was ironic that both his parents were rocket scientists. He also put a Jack Black spin on the situation: 'They're rocket scientists. I'm a rock scientist.'

While Black was growing up his parents fought constantly, which finally led them to divorce when he was ten years old. The separation had a profound effect on Black. In search of attention, he turned to acting. Black appeared in his first television commercial, for Atari, when he was thirteen. 'I knew that if my friends saw me on TV, it would be the answer to all my prayers,' he told Gordon, 'because ... everyone would know I was awesome. And I was awesome—for three days. Then it wore off. But it gave me the hunger.' Black followed his Atari commercial with a Smurfberry Crunch ad, which he admitted wasn't nearly as cool.

After divorcing Judy Black, Tom Black moved out of the country and started a new family. Feeling abandoned, Jack became moody and started to act out. He turned to drugs and began stealing money from his mother. A frustrated Judy sent the boy to an alternative school in Culver City, California, where therapy was part of the curriculum. While there, Black was encouraged by one of his teachers to channel his energy through acting. After getting back on track, Black transferred to a private school called Crossroads in Santa Monica. After graduating in 1987, he enrolled at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

'There's a little bit of acting in my music, and there's always a little music in my acting, so it's kind of like the peanut butter cups: 'You've got your chocolate in my peanut butter.'
