  Jack Black was in so many smaller roles so different from his mainstream roles before making it big.

  It’s hilarious seeing him as a jock/bully/soldier in Mars Attacks.

    Also as a rat burger aficionado in Demolition Man and the gunsmith in The Jackal.

      I loved The Jackal for that scene with JB. That’s an amazing scene in an otherwise “meh” movie

        That and the peel away paint on the getaway car to hide it in the parking garage. But yeah, lower tiered mid-movie at best.
