The X-Files: 10 Stars Before They Hit The Big Time

6. Jack Black

BlackBest Known For "School of Rock", "Kung-Fu Panda" and Tenacious D Appears In "D.P.O." 1995 Jack Black had already made brief appearances in some well-known feature films (Demolition Man, Waterworld . . . the Neverending Story 3: Return to Fantasia), but it€™s in an early Season 3 episode that we see him really working those acting chops. Playing the role of arcade-clerk Bart €œZero€ Liquori, he is questioned by Mulder and Scully as they investigate the deaths of several people struck by lightning. It transpires that the culprit is his close friend, Darin Peter Oswald (played by Friends favourite, Giovanni Ribisi), who€™d gained great electrical powers after surviving a lightning strike. Oswald had been using these powers for his own entertainment and revenge, but it€™s not long before he suspects that Liquori has been getting a little too close to the agents. Unfortunately for young Mr Black, this means he€™s got a one-way ticket to ride the lightning.

My favourite films are The Big Lebowski closely followed by Jurassic Park. That should tell you everything you need to know about me.
