Biography

Personal life

Black was born in Decatur, Alabama,1 the son of Jan, an office worker, and Larry Black, a museum worker;2 he has two older siblings, Lee (a brother) and Lori (a sister). Black grew up in Speake, Alabama1 and played for the Speake Bobcats, graduating from high school in May 2001.

Career

Without any formal training as an actor, Lucas's film debut was in the 1994 Kevin Costner film, The War. He was subsequently cast as Caleb Temple in CBS's television series American Gothic, which ran from 1995 to 1996, and in the films Sling Blade, Ghosts of Mississippi and The X Files. Later in 1997 Black starred in the TV film Flash, which aired on The Wonderful World of Disney. In 1998, Black was offered a part in The Horse Whisperer. However, when he was told that he would need to tone down his thick Alabama accent for the part, he rejected the role, believing that actors should act only in parts in which they could be themselves. During this time period, Black also modeled for Calvin Klein Jeans.

Black's most recent films include 2004's well-reviewed American football-themed drama, Friday Night Lights and 2005's Gulf War-themed film, Jarhead. Black also starred in the lead role of the third film in The Fast and the Furious series, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, opposite actor-rapper Bow Wow. The movie opened on June 16, 2006 and grossed approximately $24 million in its opening weekend;3 Black has described his part in the film as a "fun role".2
