This seems to be Jack's forgotten film. At least for me it is. Amazing to think of all the great names in this film yet no-one bothers with it now. How big a part did Jack have?

sharehey, it was a very brief but important role.
him and DE NIRO actually get into a punch up.
btw, i recommend the movie. if they had cast somebody else instead of the cold and sterile INGRID BOULTING, the film would have atleast been a minor classic.
Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff - Harvey Pekar.
He sits down in 1976 to act with Robert DeNiro and they just putz around for ten minutes. It's a real disappointment.
The film itself is okay. It does have a tremendous cast, but they all have an average of one minute of screen time, DeNiro excepted.
i saw the movie recently, and it's not worth bothering with. jack didn't seem to be happy being in it. a very small role for him, more like 5 to 10 min.
shareHe had one scene - he played ping pong and then they got into a fight (he & Deniro) - Nicholson won fight because Deniro was drunk.
shareThe best part of the film is when Nicholson is in it. Brief but terrific scenes.
