Most fans of Sacha Baron Cohen's work might not even know what the actor looks like. Sacha is famous for playing unorthodox and controversial characters, with Sacha's distinguishing features disguised by hair, makeup and accessories. The first of these characters to make headlines was the titular character of Da Ali G Show, where Sacha, dressed as a white wannabe rapper, conducted interviews with distinguished people including politicians and journalists. Then in 2006, Sacha's mockumentary Borat, which followed anti-semetic Eastern European traveling around America, became a surprise hit and cultural phenomenon. Sacha has also taken roles in Talladega Nights and Sweeney Todd. He has one daughter with wife Isla Fisher.
