US actor Jack Black arrives at the UK premiere of his new film 'Tropic Thunder' at the Odeon Leicester Square in London, Britain on 16 September 2008. EPA/HUGO PHILPOTTThe 'Tropic Thunder' actor was so obsessed with the hit US TV show, which featured a former astronaut whose body was rebuilt following a car crash, he would act out scenes from the series and convince school friends he had bionic limbs.He said: "I was mad about 'The Six Million Dollar Man' when I was a kid. I would leave a bit of circuitry hanging out of my T-shirt in the hope someone would notice. Then they would think I was bionic. I used to do the slow-motion run all the time."The fictional cyborg isn't the only famous screen character Jack has enjoyed imitating.The 39-year-old funnyman also revealed he often spends nights alone re-enacting scenes from classic horror movie 'The Shining', in which Jack Nicholson plays a man attempting to murder his family after being driven mad by ghosts.Jack said: "I love the old Jack Nicholson movies. He is such a good actor. I like 'The Shining' because that is the one I end up imitating when I am alone."
