Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, Bruno, Admiral General Aladeen, Erran Morad — these are only some of the hilarious characters created by British actor, comedian, screenwriter and film producer Sacha Baron Cohen. The 47-year-old Baron Cohen’s numerous appearances on TV and the silver screen have garnered him several prestigious awards, including a Golden Globe, two BAFTA Film Awards (British) and a British Comedy Award.
Quote: “I think you can be politically incorrect, but there’s some responsibility with that. You’ve got to make sure that you are not condoning or bolstering any racial or other stereotypes. You’ve got to be free to make jokes, but just make sure…you don’t want to go [in] blackface somewhere to just prove a point. If it’s insulting and offensive just for the sake of it, that’s problematic.”
