6 Dramatic Sacha Baron Cohen Roles That Showcase the Brilliance of His Acting Skills

Baron Cohen has been tied to The Trial of the Chicago 7 since 2007, when it was originally planned for Steven Spielberg to direct with Will Smith as a potential star. Unfortunately, the financing for the film fell through, but writer and director Aaron Sorkin was finally able to complete his vision with the Netflix film. As Abbie Hoffman, Baron Cohen worked hard to perfect his voice but was terrified of doing an American accent. He also manages to steal the show in the ensemble cast, giving a performance that early reviews have already touted as Oscar-worthy.
