Shallow Hal Star's Artistic Dilemma

http://us.imdb.com/WN?20011106#7

Shallow Hal star Jack Black has one major hope for his career - that he
never has to choose between acting and music. The 32-year-old performer,
who stars opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in the new romantic comedy, is also
the lead singer in the folk-metal duo Tenacious D. When asked which
genre he would choose if it came to the crunch, Jack complains, "You're
asking me to choose between two children, the one that pays more and
the one that I secretly love more." But he does admit, "With the
acting, it's somebody else's brainchild, and I'm just sort of helping
flesh it out." With the music, the multi-talented star says, "There's
a special satisfaction to being the brains behind the operation."
Black's profile as an actor soared last year after a scene- stealing
performance opposite John Cusack in High Fidelity.
