Thomas Jacob Black Jr.

Jack Black is an actor who became famous thanks to the films "Horror" and "School of Rock". In 2002, together with MTV Movie Awards host Sarah Michelle Gellar, he made a comedy parody of Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.

Thomas Jacob Black was born on August 28, 1969 in the coastal city of Los Angeles - Redondo Beach. The parents of the future actors were engineers. His mother is Jewish by nationality, and his father is a Scot, who converted to Judaism at the insistence of his wife. That is why Jack was brought up in the best traditions of the Jewish people.

It is known that when the artist was barely 10 years old, his mother and father divorced. The boy moved with his dad to Culver City. Despite the distance, Jack visited his mother until he finished his first year at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he studied psychology.

After that, Black went with his father to live in France. Jack grew up on the street, often fought and got stuck in various unpleasant situations. If, by chance, he once did not get into a theater studio, then, in his own words, his days would end in prison.

Attending acting lessons, the rebel could not find a place for a couple of weeks, sincerely believing that he had got into a theater studio by mistake. True, after the premiere of his debut performance, Black realized that he wanted to connect his life with acting.

It is noteworthy that Jack never received a higher education. The artist left science for the sake of show business. This area he considered already familiar. The actor first appeared on television as a teenager. Then the young man starred in a commercial for Atari.

The master of reincarnation himself considers his debut to be a cameo role in the television film The Failed Guy. This tape appeared on screens when Black was only fourteen years old. Further, the actor took part in other television projects: "Life Goes On", "Touched by an Angel" and "The X-Files".

In 1994, Jack and a friend formed a duo called "Tenacious D". The group, which plans to release a new album in 2018, regularly appears on various comedy shows on TV channels. In the band, Jack plays electric and acoustic guitar.

Throughout the nineties of the last century, Black starred in films. He got both minor and main roles. One of the best roles of the actor - work in the film "Fanatic". In the tape, the young man in all its glory demonstrated his musical talent on the big screen.

Later, Jack made frequent appearances on television shows such as Primetime Glick, Saturday Night Live, The Osbournes. Often he could be seen at film premieres. By the way, the directors-brothers Peter and Bobby Farrelli liked the work in the film Fanatic so much that they unanimously chose him for the role in the film Love of Evil. For his work, Jack Black received $ 3 million.

The first big hit of the master of transformation came in 2003. Then the actor played in the musical comedy School of Rock directed by Richard Linklater. On the screen, the man appeared in the role of a rock guitarist who teaches skills for cash. The picture was a kind of benefit performance for Black. Critics were impressed by the artist's work and was nominated for a Golden Globe.

It is worth noting that during his career, the actor played many diverse roles, adding a number of outstanding films to his filmography. So at one time, the artist starred in "The Cable Guy" with Jim Carrey, "Soldiers of Failure" and "Love of Evil" with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Be it a comedy or a drama, the master of transformations, thanks to his original appearance and rich facial expressions, fully revealed the character he played.

In 2011, the comedy "Bernie" was released, in which Dec got the lead role. The plot of the tape narrated about the favorite of the inhabitants of the town of Cartage, the undertaker Bernie Teede. A compassionate man has always extended a helping hand to those who have lost loved ones.

Once between him and the rich but wayward widow Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine) a friendship struck up. Bernie traveled with Marge, and soon began to manage her finances. However, the demands and demands of the woman grew. She was jealous of the chosen one for friends and even forbade him to communicate with relatives.

One fine day, Bernie broke down and shot the old woman. For nine months the undertaker hid her death, and when it became known about the murder and they began to judge him, all the inhabitants defended the pet.

2015 was marked by the release of the comedy "Horror", in which, in addition to Black, starred Dylan Minnette, Amy Ryan and Odeya Rush. The plot of the film, the script of which is based on the series of books of the same name by Robert Stein, tells the story of how fantastic monsters, magically held for many years on the pages of the famous bestsellers "Horror", by chance, broke free into the real world.

In the same year, the comedy political television series On the Edge was released on television, starring Tim Robbins, Jack Black and Pablo Schreiber. In the center of the plot of the picture is a geopolitical crisis, which turns the lives of three dissimilar and desperate men upside down. The Trinity will have to end the chaos that is happening around and prevent the Third World War.

In the late 2000s, the extremely successful multi-franchise "Kung Fu Panda" was launched. In the tape, Jack voiced the main character, the clumsy male panda Po, who masters the martial arts, becomes a thunderstorm of the underworld and rebuffs villains. In 2016, viewers saw the third part of this picture. Few people know, but in the Russian-language version, the charming panda was voiced by the star of Our Russia - Mikhail Galustyan.

The personal life of the master of reincarnation has always interested both viewers and the press. It is reliably known that from 1997 to 2005, Black met with a comic actress named Laura Keitlinger, whom the man met on the set of the series "Will and Grace".

After that, Jack began a whirlwind romance with cellist Tanya Hayden. The couple once went to school in Santa Monica, but did not see each other until the spring of 2005. The novel developed so rapidly that already in 2006, the lovers got married.

Three months later, they had a son. The happy parents named the boy Samuel Jason Hayden Black. In May 2008, the wife gave her husband a second heir, Thomas David.

In June 2016, information appeared on social networks (and then in the media) that excited Black's fans - a message about the death of the artist. However, later it turned out that this is a lie. The actor's and musician's account has been hacked.

At the end of December 2017, the premiere of the film "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" is planned, in which Jack reincarnated as Professor Shelley Oberon. In the center of the plot of the tape are four teenagers who, as a punishment, were left to clean up the school basement on a weekend.

Having discovered an old console during the cleaning, the guys, without thinking twice, launch the Jumanji game and in the blink of an eye are transported to a fictional world - a jungle teeming with fantastic animals and traps. Friends will have to go through all the tests and survive.
