Jack WhiteJack White (born July 9, 1975 in Detroit) is an American rock musician and actor, best known as leader of the rock duo The White Stripes.
White's initial professional music experience came in the early 1990s as a drummer in the Detroit country-punk band Goober and the Peas. Upon forming the White Stripes with his ex-wife Meg White, Jack White switched to guitar and vocal duties while Meg took over on the drums. (Jack and Meg White were for a time rumoured to be brother and sister, and did little to set the record straight finding the mystery to be good publicity; more recently they have publicly acknowledged the true nature of their relationship). The critical and popular success of the White Stripes opened up new opportunities for White; in 2003 he was well-received in a featured role in the film Cold Mountain. On December 13, 2003, White was involved in an altercation at a Detroit club with Jason Stollsteimer, lead singer of another band, the Von Bondies, and was arrested and charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault. He pleaded guilty, and was fined $500 in court costs and sentenced to take anger management courses. This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
