The X-Files: 15 Guest Stars Who Made It Big

3. Jack Black (Season 3, Episode 3: D.P.O.)

On The X-Files: Originally airing on October 6, 1995, D.P.O. sees Mulder and Scully head to Oklahoma to investigate a string of deaths via lightning. They soon discover that a man called Darin Peter Oswald survived being struck by lightning with the ability to control the phenomenon. Jack Black plays Bart "Zero" Liquori, Oswald's friend and accomplice. Most Memorable Moment: After crossing Oswald, Bart pleads to the heavens for mercy before he is struck by lightning and killed. How Jack Black Made It Big: After a series of largely unremarkable parts on film and television, Black's role in 2000's High Fidelity brought him into the spotlight. With starring roles in Shallow Hal (2001), School of Rock (2003), Nacho Libre (2006), Kung Fu Panda (2008), Tropic Thunder (2008), and Gulliver's Travels (2010), Black remains a hot commodity in the movie industry.

Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
