He's the Real Masked Anonymous

Bob Dylan has signed on for a starring role in a film called "Masked and Anonymous" -- his first major acting gig in fifteen years. Dylan will play Jack Fate, a blues musician whose manager helps him break out of prison to perform one last show. The film is being directed by Seinfeld producer-director Larry Charles, who scored a coup in 1999 when he got Dylan to make a cameo on "Dharma and Greg". Previously Dylan appeared in Sam Peckinpah's 1973 western, "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid", 1978's "Renaldo and Clara" (which he also directed) and 1987's "Hearts of Fire". Along with being in the movies, Mr. Tambourine Man has also recorded a song for the "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" movie soundtrack, which is being produced by T Bone Burnett.
