How Jack Black describes the D:

Actor, musician, and cult idol ascendant, Jack Black is known for both the characters he portrays on the screen and as one of the forces behind Tenacious D, a rock band/standup routine that Black has described as “a Smothers Brothers for the Dungeons and Dragons misfits set.”

That Jack Black. How far he’s come since Airborne. By the way, he was a shining star of supporting actor perfection in Airborne. Also, I first saw both Jack Black and Seth Green in that movie, two now-famous actors who are awesome, have two syllables to their full names, and last names that are colours. Plus, there were mad props to Gandhi, street hockey, and Edie McClurg. Note to the Academy: fuck you.

**Special update: The D supports Dio for America in his video. Caution, though, as it uses RealCrappyPlayer.
