Thomas Jacob Black born on August 28th 1969 in Santa Monica, California.
His parents Judith (née Cohen) and Thomas William Black. Both were satellite engineers, who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Black's mother is Jewish and his father converted to Judaism. On The Tonight Show, he said his surname may have come from the occupational name Blacksmith.
His parents divorced when he was only 10. It was then he moved away to Culver City with his Father but continued to visit his Mother often.
Jack went to Poseidon High School. He also attended the Crossroads School, where he excelled in drama. Black later attended UCLA but dropped out during his sophomore year to pursue a career in the entertainment business, at which point his father discontinued his financial support.
Here is Jack Black when he was younger in the Pitfall commercial in 1982.

The cartoons he has voices in are great too. Like Ice Age,Shark Tale and Kung Fu Panda are good children movies that adults can enjoy as well.
His movie Gulliver's Travels and Rush: Behind the Lighted Stage came out in 2010.
Movies coming out in 2011 are Hoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil,The Big Year,The Muppets,Kung Fu Panda 2 and Parker Redding's Big Movie.
This guy keeps busy.
