    Man he really hasn’t changed. You can just tell it’s him by the way he speaks.

    Pitfall spelled backwards is Jack Black, coincidence? I think not

    I remember that advertisement, I didn't know Jack from Jack back then, but I do remember playing Pitfall. Oh video games sure have come along way since then. I bet Jack Black never thought as a child that he would actually become character in a video game.
