Jack Black throws himself into 'Nacho Libre'

Jack Black — who's sometimes best taken in smaller doses — has the opposite of typical actor vanity. In "Nacho Libre," he delivers scenes while sitting on the toilet, gobbles down oozy giant egg yolks and gets splattered by a catapulted cantaloupe. And since he's shirtless much of the movie, you'll see more of him in-the-flesh than you may care to.
