Jack Black was born Thomas Jacob Black on August 28, 1969, in Santa Monica, California. He is the son of Judith Love Cohen, a satellite engineer, and Thomas William Black, a contract engineer. Growing up in a creative household, Jack was influenced by his mother’s work in technology and his father’s artistic inclinations. He has a younger sister named Rachel.
Black’s early life was marked by his family’s frequent moves due to his father’s job. They lived in various cities in California, including Hermosa Beach and Los Angeles. As a child, he was exposed to different cultures and lifestyles, which helped shape his worldview. He attended the prestigious Poseidon School, a private school that emphasized creativity and self-expression. Later, he transferred to the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, where he honed his acting and performance skills.
Black’s passion for performing arts blossomed in his teenage years. He became heavily involved in theater, participating in school plays and local productions. His comedic talents emerged during this time, as he began to develop a distinctive style that blended physical comedy with witty dialogue. After high school, he enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he studied drama. However, he dropped out after two years to pursue a career in acting.
