I know.. the image is difficult to see, but since we’re going to be talking about the man behind the character, might as well show the character, in all his glory.
Sacha Baron Cohen has become one of the funniest funny men in today’s movie business. He just finished his movie BRUNO (Check out his latest shenanigan), and Sacha is also set to star with his MTV Award Kissing partner, Will Ferrell in the comedy movie SHERLOCK HOLMES, not to be confused with Guy Ritchie’s flick that would star Robert Downey, Jr.
The fun doesn’t stop there, he’s also attached to star in the DreamWorks comedy DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS.
He’s come along way in a short period of time since the movie Borat made him an icon.
According to Variety, Fox Atomic has acquired ACCIDENTES a pitch that Sacha Baron Cohen will produce with an eye toward starring in it as an ambulance-chasing personal injury lawyer of Latin descent who transforms from contingency attorney to hero of the working class when he helps an immigrant win a judgment against his wealthy employer after a landscaping mishap. He also becomes the enemy of L.A.’s power elite.
“Eye toward starring”?! I can’t think of anyone else better to play the role.
Sacha Baron Cohen can play a Kazakhstani, he can play a Gay Austrian, he can play a French Nascar Driver, he can play a barber, he can even play a hip hop wannabe gangsta named Ali G, I betcha he can even play a Latin Lawyer or at least an exaggerated, hilarious version of one.
