Jack Black: Rock ‘n’ Roll, Comedy & Kung Fu.
Read about the man who achieved superstardom, but insisted on doing it his way in this new book by Ben Welch.
Jack Black occupies a privileged seat in the world of celebrity. He is a celebrated actor, effortlessly straddling both comedy and drama whilst winning acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
Resisting every stereotype that Hollywood has to offer, Jack has become one of the most distinctive and magnetic personalities in modern film; whose side-splitting antics both on and off-screen are the stuff of movie legend.
In contrast to this cinematic reputation, Jack has also built a devoted cult following, alongside collaborator Kyle Gass, for his satirical rock act Tenacious D. Developing from a tentative bedroom project to the main stage headliners we know and love them for, Jack now finds himself in that rare position of being a superstar with two global careers.
This unofficial & unauthorised biography, chronicles his life and career - from his inauspicious debut in a video game commercial, through a turbulent youth, and on to lead roles in the likes of School of Rock, King Kong and Kung Fu Panda.
Jack Black: Rock ‘n’ Roll, Comedy & Kung Fu by Ben Welch is out on 15th October through the Independent Music Press.
