Jack Black is set to introduce a new British persona in the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, bringing his well-known comedic style directly into the game when it launches on 11th July for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch platforms. As part of the franchise’s return, fans will encounter Black delivering a fresh take on his classic cop character, integrating the
“Jack Black Tony Hawk British character”
focus into a beloved gaming series.
Jack Black’s Ongoing Success in Video Game Roles
Known for his vibrant roles in movies and video game adaptations, Jack Black continues to embrace his passion for gaming culture. Recently, he voiced Bowser in the Super Mario Bros Movie and Steve in an upcoming Minecraft film, reinforcing his reputation as a go-to actor for gaming franchises making the leap to film. As a long-time gamer himself, Black’s immersion in the video game world goes beyond the screen—his band, Tenacious D, even references games like Red Dead Redemption 2 in their lyrics.
Meet Constable Richard: Officer Dick’s British Counterpart
In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, Black returns to play a new variant of Officer Dick—the comedic law enforcer he’s portrayed since the early days of the series. This time, players will be introduced to Constable Richard, a British version of the character specifically created for the game’s London level.
The backstory provided for this character details that, as a youngster, Richard Ennvee faced mockery from fellow skaters who labeled him a ‘poser.’ Motivated by the desire to earn their respect—and perhaps a bit of revenge—Richard transformed into
“the long arm of the law,”
providing plenty of potential for his unique brand of humor. According to an official description,
Players are in for a treat as they will also get to meet Officer Dick’s UK counterpart, Constable Richard, in the game’s London level. Voiced too by Jack Black, Constable Richard is every bit as hard-nosed and utterly ridiculous as Officer Dick.

—Jack Black, as Constable Richard, a phrase that’s likely to become a favorite catchphrase among players and perhaps even in skateparks throughout London and beyond.
