Who here believes that Jack Black is turning out the same way Adam Sandler did?

Question

What I mean by that is this: Jack Black is an excellent actor, but he wastes his talents on frivolous and mediocre roles, and it seems like he gets more attention for them. Adam Sandler is the same but he does it because his original fan base was the blundering idiotic GenX college crowd hopeless vulgar rowdy morons who got used to seeing him rehash the same character over and over in different movies. He has to work to keep his fans happy, and he's a workaholic, so his true potential rarely shines thru. But does it seem like Jack Black is headed down a similar path? I think that would be waste of talent. I'd want to see him in more roles like he had in King Kong, and Orange County. Don't laugh, he was a stoner/slacker type but he was a deep pitted character not some jumpy mesh of random juvenile antics, and social mishaps. I hope he isn't getting to be like that, but what do you think?

I hope so gg... I really do.

Answer 1

I have to say Adam Sandler is moving on to some great roles - did you see Spanglish? Wonderful picture w/some great acting. As for Jack Black, the man is multi talented. Unfortunately, until Hollywood learns to see beauty differently, there will only be so many roles for short, chunky actors (actresses).

Answer 2

The lifespan of a comic actor is usually short. It will be interesting to look back in ten years time to see who may still be making any kind of films that is a comedy person today.

Answer 3

No....Adam S. is a dyed-in-the-wool clown. No insult. He is very funny.

Jack Black will move into more serious roles. I think he is just riding the comedy wave for now.

Answer 4

I think you are totally right. All the fame goes to their head. Sadly that has happened to many teen celebrities right now.

Answer 5

In many cases, once you become a star you lose sight of things.
