Next up for Knoxville was a small role in Catherine Hardwicke's movie about the 'Z Boys', a group of surfers who took to the streets to become a skateboarding phenomenon.

Knoxville turns up as Topper Burks, a white-suited impresario who coaxes one of the boys away from the team with the promise of big bucks. The movie sports some decent performances, notably from Heath Ledger and Emile Hirsch, and boasts a script from real-life Z boy Stacy Peralta (who also directed an ace documentary, Dogtown and Z-Boys, on the same subject).

Pain Rating? Knoxville doesn't actually set foot on a board in this movie, so he avoids any embarrassing wipeouts.
