Jack was born in an army hospital at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and was raised in the New York City area through age 8 before his family relocated to the Chicago suburbs. He got his first taste of acting when he was 10 years old, as Harlan in a local production of the play Life With Father (which also featured his mother Phyllis).
Jack's performances have included roles in independent films, commercials, industrial films, and regional theater productions. His roles have ranged from the deranged (Renfield in Bram Stoker's Dracula) to the outcast (William Robert Moss in Slices of Life) to the affable (Carlos in D.I.N.K.s).
Jack's favorite pursuits outside entertainment include keeping fit, being a technophile, and playing poker.
