      Same thing Mike Myers did on his episode in this series. He said he was spoiled early on in some of his movies by working with great choreographers and prop makers. He and Jack both seem like genuinely nice guys. I'm sure they both have skeletons like everyone else, but they seem to at least try and not make everything about themselves.

    I “met” Jack in Charlotte while he was filming Shallow Hal. I was a fan of The D at this point but he was still little known. I went to a hornets game on a weeknight. Quarter ends and I go to get a beer. I’m standing in the long line (yes NBA had long lines back then, and I turn around and he’s standing there. I did a double take and caught his eyes. He recognized that I recognized him. He put his arms up in a TRex pose, hissed at me then glided off to another line.

Of course, if they're fortunate enough to see him in Bernie or even that _single_ episode of X-Files he did (with Giovanni Ribisi), it begins to become clear that...much like Robin Williams..there's much more to him than just varying degrees of spasmodic intensity.

Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez), a real-life Mexican Catholic priest who had a 23-year career as a masked luchador and competed in order to support the orphanage he directed, you will definitely appreciate it.

He hung around after the interview and graciously spoke with some fans. I told him School of Rock was one of my favorite movies of all time, and with such genuine emotion, he said "Aw, thanks, man!"

      Here's the thong about him in King Kong. He was following in the footsteps of Robert Armstrong, so he had giant boots to fill. Also, while he did a fantastic job, some feel he may have been miscast for that type of role. Since Carl Denham was based off of the film director, Merian C. Cooper

    Loved Jack Black’s performance in Bernie, love how he even interviewed the actual guy for it too.

    School of Rock is not only incredibly nostalgic but still is one of the best movies to this day. Perfect in so many ways

      I grew up with that movie and now my kid watches it. He's almost 3 and he actually loves Jack Black!

    i love hearing him talk about Shallow Hal. even like nearly 20 years later it's still such a real film and is still touching. balances amazingly between happy and sad moments throughout

    I’m absolutely shocked the pick of destiny didn’t do well in theaters. It’s an outstanding movie and one of my favorites. The cast is great, the soundtrack is killer. 10/10.

      Cult classics almost never do well in the theater.

    Nacho Libre is hands down my favorite film of all time. The characters, story, music, jokes, pacing, and even philosophical undertones all came together.
