The Mario movie. The Minecraft movie. The Borderlands movie. Jack Black is everywhere in pop gaming culture lately, and will even make another appearance (well, technically two) in next month\u2019s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4<\/a><\/em> remake. Black will reprise his role as Officer Dick, in addition to voicing Constable Richard, Dick\u2019s UK counterpart, in the game\u2019s London level.<\/p>\n

As a child, Dick, real name Richard Ennvee, \u201cwas mocked by other skaters and called a ‘poser,’\u201d according to an Activision press release. \u201cOvertaken by the need for revenge, Dick vowed to one day become what those skaters feared most – the long arm of the law!\u201d Although the good constable doesn\u2019t get as much of a lore drop, he is promised to be \u201cevery bit as hard-nosed and utterly ridiculous as Officer Dick.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t remember the officer from the older games, he\u2019s been an unlockable character in the franchise since the original game, and remained as such until Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3<\/em>. He returned in Tony Hawk\u2019s Project 8<\/em> and Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater HD<\/em> before making an appearance in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2<\/a><\/em> as Jables himself.<\/p>\n

In Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 3 + 4<\/em>, Black joins Doom Slayer<\/a>, TMNT\u2019s Michelangelo<\/a>, and Bam Margera<\/a> among the roster of playable characters. No stranger to gaming (he was the lead in Double Fine\u2019s 2009 hit Br\u00fctal Legend<\/em>), Jack Black has been a visible face in recent high-profile gaming-themed projects. He\u2019s the voice of Bowser in the Mario<\/em> movies<\/a>, the voice of Claptrap<\/a> in the box office bomb Borderlands<\/em>, and the face of the billion-dollar live-action hit Minecraft<\/em><\/a>. And this summer, he\u2019ll make funky faces and jokes in a Tony Hawk game.<\/p>\n

Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 3 + 4<\/em> is out July 11 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n
