There are few actors working in Hollywood today as distinctive as Jack Black. With his hyper-dynamic, explosive comedic performances, he has become one of the most prolific and celebrated talents in mainstream American cinema. High-profile roles in blockbusters such as School of Rock , King Kong , and Kung Fu Panda have made him one of the highest paid actors in the world. Yet, unusually, paralleled with this onscreen fame has been the massive success of his band Tenacious D - alongside faithful cohort Kyle Gass - which has seen Jack enjoy a platinum album, sell out Madison Square Garden and play the main stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals. Jack's rise to prominence has not been without its difficulties. From an inauspicious first role in a video game commercial, through a desperately troubled youth and a long spell as an extra, Jack has had to bring all of his talent into service to earn his current seat among the galaxy of Hollywood stars and rock legends. This is the first book to tell that surprising, compelling and entertaining story.
