Early Years
Dane Jeffrey Cook was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on March 18, 1972. Cook grew up in a Catholic family with six brothers. He has said he was shy and quiet as a child. But everything changed when, in his first year of high school, he tried stand-up comedy for the first time. He also started acting while he was still in high school. Cook went to school for graphic design after he graduated from high school as a "backup plan" in case his job in entertainment didn't work out. Even though he has never had to use this skill, he still creates his own t-shirt prints, album covers, and other things.
Career
Dane Cook's work began in the 1990s when he started doing stand-up in comedy clubs. Even though he had a good start to his career, he was brought down a notch or two when he and a group of other comics bombed at the Boston Garden. Cook and other comedians were put between musical groups and before the headliners, the band Phish, for no clear reason. Because of this, the people in the crowd didn't like a comedy act that seemed to be thrown in at random. People threw shoes and other things at the comedians. Eventually, Cook and the other comics had to leave the stage because they were hurt.
By 1994, Dane Cook had moved to New York City so he could keep working as a comedian. After not having much success, he went to Los Angeles once more. Once he got there, Cook's life started to get better, and in 1998, he was on Comedy Central's Premium Blend. Since 2000, when he had his first comedy special, he has won the Comedy Central Stand-up Showdown twice.
In 1999, movies like Mystery Men and Simon Sez gave Dane Cook his first film parts. Even though these were small parts, he would go on to play the main character in Employee of the Month in 2006.
Dane Cook started putting out records in 2003. His first one was the CD/DVD set Harmful if Swallowed. The plan worked and got to the platinum level. Retaliation, his next CD/DVD, did even better and was certified double-platinum. It was so famous that it made it into the top 5 of the Billboard charts, which is a rare feat for a comedian.
With the HBO special Vicious Cycle, Dane Cook solidified his place as one of the most famous comedians in the world. The year before, he had been at the MTV Video Music Awards. He also kept working as an actor and tried to make a show called "Cooked," which was never picked up. But when he was the host of Saturday Night Live in 2005, he got a lot of press.
Cook joined the cast of Mr. Brooks in 2007 and played a rare dramatic part. Also in 2007, he was in the movie Good Luck Chuck, which did well at the box office. He ended 2007 with a part in Dan in Real Life, which was another big hit at the box office.
Dane Cook became even more well-known as a comedian in the years that came after. He started his own production business, hosted the Teen Choice Awards, filled Madison Square Garden to capacity, and won many awards, including Best Comedian. In 2008, Dane Cook was on stage for 7 hours straight, which was a new record for the Laugh Factory. He was also in the 2008 movie My Best Friend's Girl. Dane Cook's fourth album, Isolated Incident, came out in 2009 after he finished his deal with Comedy Central Records.
Cook didn't get much attention for the next few years until he made a joke about the 2012 Aurora, Colorado killings that got him in trouble. He later said he was sorry for the joke. In 2013, Dane Cook became a voice actress for the animated movie Planes. He was in the movie 400 Days in 2015. Cook said that his new tour would start in 2019 in 2018.
Controversy
Dane Cook has been accused of copying other people's work or "stealing jokes" more than once. Joe Rogen's claim that Cook stole a "bit" from one of his routines was one of the most famous cases. Even though things got tense, they were able to put it behind them when they both went on Joe Rogen's show.
People have also noticed that many of Cook's acts seem very similar to ones that Louis C.K. did in the past. In an episode of Louis, the two actors played characters who talked about plagiarized work, which was very close to what was happening in real life. Later, Louis C.K. said that Cook probably never "stole" the acts on purpose and that he probably just subconsciously picked up ideas and copied them without realizing it.
Real Estate
In 2008, it was said that Dane Cook had spent just over $7 million on a home in Los Angeles. The house has 4,400 square feet of living room and gorgeous views of the city and the ocean in the distance.
In December 2020, Dane paid $3 million for the house across the street.
