Jack Black has become one of Hollywood's most recognised faces since he broke through in 2000 with High Fidelity.
Since then the actor and musician has enjoyed major success at the box office, as well as some failures, and returns this week with Dreamworks' animation picture Kung Fu Panda.
Despite small parts in movies such as Dead Man's Walking, Waterworld and Enemy of the State it was the role of record shop worker Barry in High Fidelity, an adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel that got him recognised.
Next up for the actor was the role of Hal Larson in Shallow Hal, alongside actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
The romantic comedy follows Hal who is superficial and shallow and attracted to woman because of their appearance.
After meeting a famous life coach he's hypnotised into seeing people's inner beauty and he falls for Rosemary who, to Hal, is slender and beautiful but is actually very obese.
He had to wait until 2003 and School of Rock to cement himself as a comic leading man.
