He overcame his shyness in his junior year of high school when he began acting and doing stand-up comedy. After graduating from high school, he studied graphic design in college as a back-up plan in case he did not achieve success in comedy. He now designs all of his merchandise, including the cover of his album, ''Harmful If Swallowed''.〔 Cook has stated that he does not drink or do drugs. Cook's half-brother Darryl was Cook's business manager until 2008, when it was discovered that Darryl and his wife had embezzled millions of dollars from Dane Cook. Both were convicted and sentenced to prison for the embezzlement.〔() UPI.com, 2010-11-25; retrieved 2010-12-20.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dane Cook」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
