At a young age, Lord spent a lot of time at sea, and did painting; he also learned and developed equestrian skills. He was educated at John Adams High School, and after matriculating attended the US Merchant Marine Academy, graduating as an Ensign with a Third Mates License. He then got a football scholarship at New York University, where he studied Fine Arts. During World War II, he was a part of the US Army Corps of Engineers, mostly in Persia building bridges. He then became an Able Seaman before enrolling in the deck officer course. He also began his interest in acting at this time.

Jack then trained at the Neighborhood Playhouse, supporting himself by working as a car salesman while training, followed by attended the Actors Studio. Lord made his film debut in 1949 in “The Red Menace”, effectively a propaganda film, then tried his hand at producing in the film “Cry Murder”, but was also at home in live theater, making his Broadway debut in 1954, playing Slim Murphy in “The Traveling Lady”, and winning a Theatre World Award for his performance. He then became a part of the production “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” in 1954-55. He switched back to films, becoming the star of “Williamsburg: the Story of a Patriot”, before co-starring in the film “God’s Little Acre”, a film adaptation of the Erskine Caldwell novel. In 1962 in the premier James Bond film “Dr No”, he was the first actor to play Felix Leiter, which became a recurring role, and the same year starred in the series “Stoney Burke” as the titular character. Three years later, he made a guest appearance in “12 o-Clock High” before making a string of other guest appearances in popular shows, appearing in the first episode of “Have Gun, Will Travel”. as well as in the film “The Name of the Game Is Kill”.

Lord’s most notable role would come in “Hawaii Five-O”, which he helped conceive, and which he starred in it for 12 seasons, also becoming well known for casting native Hawaiians instead of mainland actors. Its popularity is confirmed by it becoming the longest-running cop show in television history during the airing of its last episode.

For his personal life, it is known that Jack married Anne Willard in 1944, but their marriage ended in divorce in 1947; their only son was killed in a road accident aged 13. In 1949 he married Marie de Narde who was a former fashion designer. After the end of “Hawaii Five-O” in 1980, he kept a low profile, but began suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for seven years before his death; he eventually passed away from congestive heart failure in 1998. His money was left to his wife, and was later passed to Hawaiian charities after her passing.
