Sacha Baron Cohen

Spent a year in between high school and college living on a kibbutz in Israel. Introduced the character of wannabe rapper-journalist Ali G on British TV comedy series  The Eleven O'Clock Show in 1998, which eventually led to his Da Ali G Show. Appeared in Madonna's video for "Music" in 2001. Won BAFTA Awards for Best Comedy (Programme or Series) and Best Comedy Performance for Da Ali G Show in 2001. Gave a precommencement address to Harvard University's class of 2004 in character as Ali… Show more G. Crashed several fashions shows in 2008 while in character as Brüno. At the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, he appeared as a scantily clad Bruno and did an aerial stunt in which he landed on Eminem, who angrily left the building. Following days of speculation, Eminem admitted it was a gag they were both in on. In 2009, he was sued by a Palestinian man who claimed he was falsely portrayed as a terrorist in the movie Brüno; the man refiled the lawsuit in 2010. An Avatar spoof he planned for the 2010 Oscars was cut by the show's producer in order to avoid potentially offending James Cameron. After a six-year engagement, he wed actress Isla Fisher in a very private, traditional Jewish ceremony: only six guests were in attendance at their March 2010 nuptials in Paris. Often appears on talk shows in character. ~ Rovi
