He got his professional debut on the stage when he appeared in Tim Robbins' production of Carnage in 1989. He would go on to collaborate with Robbins throughout his career, making his film debut in the political satire Bob Roberts (1992) and appearing in Dead Man Walking (1995) and Cradle Will Rock (1999). Black spent the 90's playing supporting and lead roles in a variety of films, including Demolition Man (1993), The Cable Guy (1996) which cast him as the best friend of Matthew Broderick's character, and Jesus Son (1999). In 2000, Black had one of his most recognizable roles in High Fidelity. It featured Black as Barry, a thoroughly obnoxious record-store employee. The part allowed the actor to do some of his own singing. Black found the ideal vehicle for the successful transition when he co-starred alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in Shallow Hal (2001) as a superficial man who falls in love with a 300-pound woman after being hypnotized to see only the inner beauty of the opposite sex. In 2003, Black starred in his first big hit - the musical comedy School of Rock, which featured Black as an unsatisfied heavy metal-guitarist doing a substitute teaching gig for extra cash. Critics were so taken by his performance that he was honored with a Golden Globe nomination. 2005 was quite a marquee year for Black as he starred alongside Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody in the remake of King Kong.   Filmography: 2006 Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny 2006 Nacho Libre 2005 King Kong 2004 Shark Tale 2004 Envy 2003 School of Rock 2002 Ice Age 2002 Orange County 2001 Shallow Hal 2001 Saving Silverman 2000 High Fidelity 1999 Cradle Will Rock 1999 Jesus' Son 1998 Bongwater 1998 I Still Know What You Did Last Summer 1998 Johnny Skidmarks 1998 Enemy of the State 1997 The Jackal 1996 Mars Attacks! 1996 Bio-Dome 1996 The Cable Guy 1995 Waterworld 1995 Dead Man Walking 1995 Bye Bye, Love 1994 Blind Justice 1994 The Neverending Story III: Escape from Fantasia 1994 The Innocent 1993 Demolition Man 1993 Marked for Murder 1993 Airborne 1992 Bob Roberts   Accommodation Life in Amed Bali Villa Pantulan Bali Villa Kanti Trading Carlo Showroom Ebone Designs Goddess Silks Sourcing For Living Travels Eco Dive Bali Gunung Leuser Trek Papua Adventures Premier Card Premier Options Jewelry Jean-François Fichot Art Galleries Antonius Kho I Madé Sumadiyasa Richard Winkler Sculpture by Filippos Tony Raka Art Gallery
