He appeared on the television shows ''Star Search'' and ''The All-New Mickey Mouse Club'' as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time. During the group's hiatus, Timberlake released his debut studio album ''Justified'' (2002), which included the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards. His second record, ''FutureSex/LoveSounds'' (2006), distinguished from his previous release by its wide-range of musical influences, debuted atop the US ''Billboard'' 200 and produced the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number-one singles "SexyBack", "My Love", and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". With his first two albums exceeding sales of 10 million copies worldwide, he was established as one of the most commercially successful singers of the decade. From 2008 through 2012, Timberlake focused on his acting career, effectively putting his music career on hiatus; he held starring roles in the films ''The Social Network'', ''Bad Teacher'', ''In Time'', and ''Friends with Benefits''. In 2013, Timberlake resumed his music career with his third and fourth albums ''The 20/20 Experience'' and ''The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2'', exploring neo soul styles with the song structures of 1960s and 1970s rock. The former became the best-selling record of the year in the US with the largest sales week, and spawned the top-three singles "Suit & Tie" and "Mirrors", while the latter produced the top-ten song "Not a Bad Thing". ''Time'' named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2007 and 2013. Timberlake's work has earned him numerous awards, including nine Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards, the latter being for his appearances on ''Saturday Night Live''. His other ventures include record label Tennman Records, fashion label William Rast, and the restaurants Destino and Southern Hospitality. ==Early life== Timberlake was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Lynn (Bomar) Harless and Randall Timberlake, a Baptist church choir director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ancestry of Justin Timberlake (1981–) )〕〔〕〔〕 Timberlake grew up in Shelby Forest, a small community between Memphis and Millington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Justin Timberlake )〕 He has two half-brothers, Jonathan (born 1993) and Steven Robert (born August 14, 1998), from Randall's second marriage to Lisa Perry.
