Jack Black

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.
