Call it a humorous example of life imitating art.  HBO star Kevin Dillon has just landed a big screen role in National Lampoon’s 301: The Legend of Awesomest Maximus Wallace Leonidas.  The comedy will spoof a myriad of testosterone-laden movies including 300, Troy, Braveheart and Gladiator.

Fans of Entourage know that Dillon’s character (struggling actor Johnny Chase) rose to fame in the short-lived series, ‘Viking Quest’.  (The tagline for the fake series being:  “From the past… comes a warrior of the future.”)  Now in 301, Dillon will get to add his special twist to the Spartan general role.

I’m really hoping the producers of Entourage can somehow find a way to tie in Dillon’s real life role into their show.  The fans of Viking Quest would want them to do it for Johnny.
