Jack has appeared on the regional, and Off-Broadway stages, in dozens of plays, as well as numerous TV commercials, and has been a card-carrying SAG-AFTRA member since the late 1970's. He appeared in many Norman Lear sitcoms, including "All In The Family" and "Good Times," to name a few.
He had taken a hiatus from "show business" to work the "business of shows," where, as a member of the sales staff of legendary television program distributor Firestone Programs -- owned by his late father, TV program sales pioneer Leonard Firestone -- Jack sold perennial hit shows into the TV syndication marketplace, including Chuck Barris' "The Gong Show" & "The New Newlywed Game" (in which he also worked as a Contestant Coordinator!), Allen Funt's "The New Candid Camera" (in which Jack acted as a recurring "shill"), and Garry Moore hosted "To Tell The Truth" (in which he was also, in one episode, one of the two "imposter" contestants.)
Jack is happily married --- for over 30 years! --- to Robin, and they now reside near the booming Atlanta market, where he is reviving his acting career. To date, though, they have produced their best work of art yet: an only child -- a son -- who is newly-married, is an MD, and who is a father of boy and girl twins, Dax and Lennon.
