He will next star alongside Shailene Woodley in ROBOTS, an independent romantic comedy directed by Academy Award nominee Ant Hines. Currently, he is filming the second season of the Apple TV+ hit comedy series, THE AFTERPARTY, opposite Tiffany Haddish, Zoe Chao and Sam Richardson.
Before lining up JUNGLE CRUISE and CLIFFORD, Jack was seen in Lasse Hallstrom's THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS opposite Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, and Morgan Freeman, also for Disney. His previous film work includes Garry Marshall’s MOTHER'S DAY opposite Julia Roberts and Jennifer Garner in 2016, and THE BAD EDUCATION MOVIE in 2015, which Jack also wrote.
On television, Jack is widely celebrated for his hit Netflix show TRAVELS WITH MY FATHER, which released its fifth season last fall.
