Tom Waits takes on new movie role

According to Anti-, Tom Waits has taken a small role in director Tony Scott's new movie, "Domino," starring Keira Knightly, Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken.

The film is the true story of British actor Laurence Harvey's daughter, Domino, who turned away from her successful career as a model to become a bounty hunter.

Waits, who plays the part of a wandering soothsayer, filmed his scenes immediately on returning to America after his acclaimed London show last month. Commenting on why he took the movie role, Waits says: "they won me in a poker game."

Waits released Real Gone earlier this year.
