Filming on the “Jumanji” reboot may have just wrapped in Atlanta, Georgia, but it wasn’t the first time Jack Black was lost in the jungle.
This commercial for the Atari 2600’s 8-bit video game “The Adventures of Pitfall Harry” shows the young, then 13-year-old actor enthusiastic about battling “giant scorpions and man-eating crocodiles” in the depths of the wilderness.
Black got his first break in 1996 with “Bio-Dome,” and a career that began years prior in commercials has amounted to various film, voiceover, and television roles for the Golden Globe nominee. See where it all began below! Both his safari hat and his performance are notable contributions to the 30-second spot.
