## Description

**Jack Black** is an American actor, comedian, musician, part-time evil doer, and part-time mom-napper. He is known for roles in family and comedy films, in addition to his voice work in animated films and appearances in multiple books in the Skin Man Universe. His accolades include a Grammy Award and nominations for two Golden Globe Awards.

## Backstory

**Jack Black** was born in Santa Monica, California, was raised in Hermosa Beach. His parents were satellite engineers, with his mother, Judith Love Cohen, also being a writer, and his father, Thomas William Black, converting to Judaism. His upbringing included Jewish traditions, including attending Hebrew school and having a bar mitzvah. He has a diverse ancestry, including English, German, Irish, Polish, Russian, and Scottish.

After his parents' divorce when he was 10, **Jack** moved to Culver City with his father and attended the Poseidon School and later the Crossroads School, where he excelled in drama. He briefly attended UCLA but dropped out to pursue an entertainment career. His early career involved acting in commercials and small TV roles, and he gained recognition in films like "High Fidelity" in 2000. His journey from a young actor in commercials to a successful actor in both television and film is marked by his determination and talent.

Around this time, **Jack** decided he wanted to do evil for fun, as more and more wacky and zany characters began to pop up due to The Wizard. So, he bought a recently shut down bank that went bankrupt after the popular video game character, Mario, broke into it and stole all of the money, and he used the bank as his evil layer.

## Appearences

### In a Skmal

While not **Jack Black's** first appearance in the Skin Man Universe based on release date, In a Skmal is his first appearance in-timeline. In this book, **Jack** acts as the main villain, capturing the main character, Brad T's, mother, kicking off the main conflict within the book. In the end, he is defeated by Brad T peeing on him, which causes him to start speaking gibberish, and later Skinman tells Brad T he was sent to prison.

### Skin Man 4

Skin Man 4, and thus also **Jack's** story, pick up around 2 years after In a Skmal, and as we see when Skinman goes to jail, he's still in prison. Skinman asks **Jack** if he could go out with him, starting they're relationship. But this love is soon cut short after a prison riot leads a police man to shoot **Jack** dead. He is seen one last time at the very end of the book, when Silas reboots the universe, we see an angelic Skinman and **Jack Black** on their wedding day.

## Trivia

* **Jack Black** appears one other time in Skin Man 4 outside of the beginning and end, but it's off screen on slide 312, in fact, if you look hard enough on the slide itself it says "(don’t scroll over to the left)", because there's a hidden **Jack Black**

* The gibberish **Jack Black** says throughout Skin Man 4 and at the end of In a Skmal is the bridge to the Tenacious D song "Tribute"

* Similar to The Lorax, **Jack Black** was added to In a Skmal before it was tied the Skin Man Universe, and his integration in both was a just a coincidence
