    One of his earlier roles was a scene in The X Files, I think he was on screen for 5 minutes tops but I still remember. And everytime I saw him againnI remember he was “the x files guy” until he was indeed Jack Black. Also in The X Files his scene was that he was being killed by Giovanni Ribisi. Very cool to see unknown people go up the ladder

    1995

      Brian Cranston, Erin Paul, Dean Norris and like half the cast of breaking bad were in xfiles

        Brian Cranston was in a lot of stuff. There was a episode of Babylon 5 where he played a ship captain who took one for the team to trick the current enemy.

          The episode of x files Drive won him the breaking bad role though. The producers didn’t want Malcolm’s dad, so Vince Gilligan showed them that episode to convince them

            Also, Vince directed some X-Files episodes too. It’s why he casted so many actors that had worked on it.

      First time I saw him in something was the 93 classic “airborne”. It’s about a cali surfer kid that moves to the Midwest. Jack black plays one of the high-school bullies that picks on the new surfer kid. It’s a 90s gem

    I knew a guy who looked exactly like him, he was this intelligent, weirdly intense but simultaneously one of the most chill person I’ve known.

    I’d go visit him and he’d be mowing his back lawn using a small one handed scythe, most his backyard was grass and he didn’t own any other form of mower, so he’d sit there for half the night on his hands and knees mowing his lawn, he also slept out there in a small tent made out of sticks and some sheets.

    I wonder if the 1992 Jack Black would be proud of 2025 Black Jack

    2 years before he did The Neverending Story part 3. Two parts after that story should have ended unfortunately

        None of them had the same actor playing the lead role despite them all being the same character. Each one was basically the same story over and over with a few different things sandwiched inside.

        The first was the icon. 2 was serviceable. If you were the right age for it, likely a classic just for nostalgia alone. That and the tragic story why the lead actor couldn’t have returned for 3 regardless. The most noteworthy feature of 3 was that Jack Black was in it. For maybe 10 minutes as a bully? One of “the nasties”.

          Oh I know why 3 sucks. I only ever found out it existed as an adult, and, yes: Jack Black was the highlight despite being in it for like 5 minutes and he plays a douche. Lol

          I guess I was just the right age for having fond memories of 1 and 2, and still enjoy them now. I actually was surprised that there was a 3rd one because I was so into the first two, I find it crazy I never heard there was a 3rd as a kid.

    Why do I feel like the first movie I ever saw jack black in was a drama in which he played a crazy guy, and not a comedy. I have this memory but no idea what it is

      He did play a weapon maker in the movie the Jackal. Wouldn’t be his first movie or anything however.
