Jack’s youngest daughter, shortly after her eighteenth birthday informed him, “You don’t have to stay in Buffalo for me. I’m grown up now, I don’t need you around. So if you want to go to California, it’s OK.” Not long after Jack bought a too old van and spent 40 days and 40 nights traveling and breaking down across the country on the road to Hollywood.
In his first starring role, in the short film songbird, Jack premiered at the Sundance Festival and screened numerous times after on the Sundance Channel.
