Who is Truman Capote's friend "Jack"?

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2005)

Was there ever in the film any mention of "Jack"'s last name, or who he was? We know that he finished his novel, but I can't recall if we were given any other identifying information. "Jack" did come across as being a fixture in Capote's life, & if he seemed a little judgemental of his "partner", that attitude never rose to the level of rejection. I was trying to think of famous novelists named "Jack", but the film never goes into whether Jack becomes as well-known as Harper Lee or Capote. We were thinking possibly of Keraouc (sic)? as a possible Jack. Capote's "Jack" did not appear to begrudge Truman his success though. So, who was "Jack"?
