Celeb: Jack Black

Year: 1982

Product: 'Pitfall' (video game)

Synopsis: Long before he was slaying hydras as Wonderboy, and decades before his fame hit critical mass in such films as 'School of Rock,' 'King Kong' and 'Nacho Libre,' Jack Black was a shill for Activision's 'Pitfall' game for Atari and Intellivision. The clip is abbreviated, but there's no doubt that the boyish Indiana Jones-wannabe under that pith helmet is the man who grows up to be the hairier half of Tenacious D.
