One of his earlier roles was a scene in The X Files, I think he was on screen for 5 minutes tops but I still remember. And everytime I saw him againnI remember he was "the x files guy" until he was indeed Jack Black. Also in The X Files his scene was that he was being killed by Giovanni Ribisi. Very cool to see unknown people go up the ladder

1995

Brian Cranston, Erin Paul, Dean Norris and like half the cast of breaking bad were in xfiles

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Brian Cranston was in a lot of stuff. There was a episode of Babylon 5 where he played a ship captain who took one for the team to trick the current enemy.

The episode of x files Drive won him the breaking bad role though. The producers didn’t want Malcolm’s dad, so Vince Gilligan showed them that episode to convince them

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They still managed to get a underwear shot or two out of him.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Also, Vince directed some X-Files episodes too. It’s why he casted so many actors that had worked on it.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

First time I saw him in something was the 93 classic "airborne". It's about a cali surfer kid that moves to the Midwest. Jack black plays one of the high-school bullies that picks on the new surfer kid. It's a 90s gem

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Haven't thought about that movie in a while...

I knew a guy who looked exactly like him, he was this intelligent, weirdly intense but simultaneously one of the most chill person I've known.

I'd go visit him and he'd be mowing his back lawn using a small one handed scythe, most his backyard was grass and he didn't own any other form of mower, so he'd sit there for half the night on his hands and knees mowing his lawn, he also slept out there in a small tent made out of sticks and some sheets.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 16 points 2 months ago

Man knew what he wanted in life. A hand cut patch of grass to sleep on.

[–] zipzoopaboop 34 points 2 months ago

Looks like he's about to shoot the drill Sargeant

[–] teft@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looks like Johnny Lee Miller circa Hackers.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Literally thought that's who it was until I read the caption.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

He looks like if sid from Toy Story was a real person

Imagine this being the face that grows up and gets angry that someone said “don’t miss Trump next time”

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Man looks like he can beat the shit out of me if I pick a wrong soccer team to stan.

I wonder if the 1992 Jack Black would be proud of 2025 Black Jack

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 11 points 2 months ago

I think what makes jack black is that he was proud all along, right from the age of Kickapoo

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

2 years before he did The Neverending Story part 3. Two parts after that story should have ended unfortunately

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As a kid i was like “why is this never ending story 90 minutes?”

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

They made a deal with the Final Fantasy folks.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Remember when he was in Mars Attacks? I 'member

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well you better go watch it!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I watched it again recently - I had no clue that was him.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I remembered him from Mars Attacks too.

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If he lost weight now, I'm sure he'd look the same.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Bones amirite

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why do I feel like the first movie I ever saw jack black in was a drama in which he played a crazy guy, and not a comedy. I have this memory but no idea what it is

[–] Creepo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He did play a weapon maker in the movie the Jackal. Wouldn't be his first movie or anything however.

Looks like he would be the perfect fit for Autechre.

Selectaaar. Run da rydum.
