I've been drumming
for about five years now, well when I was about two or something.
I've actually been drumming my whole life because my mom went to a
garage sale and she found this old broken drum kit and she said
'This'll be fun to give to a kid, it'll let him get some energy
out.' So, she brought it home and I would always be banging on it
and hitting it and stuff.[1] |

Rock
Clark was introduced to acting at the age of thirteen, cast as
drummer Freddy Jones, in Paramount Pictures' School of

attended Toronto and Los Angeles film
premieres, as well as the 2004 MTV Movie Awards. He also
