TENACIOUS D - DIO THRILLED TO PLAY HIMSELF IN TENACIOUS D FILM

American heavy rocker RONNIE JAMES DIO is set to embark on an acting career after agreeing to play himself in the much anticipated TENACIOUS D movie, THE PICK OF DESTINY. The DIO frontman jumped at the chance to appear in the movie when he learned he'd be part of a fantastic dream sequence, starring funnyman JACK BLACK. He says, "In the scene, Jack's character is 10 or 12. His father comes in and rails at him and slams the door. "On the back of the door is a big poster of me. He starts singing to the poster: 'Dio, tell me what I should do?' And I come alive off the poster, sing a song and reply to him."
