David, what is this David? The comedic genius Sacha Baron Cohen's next major role will be playing the genocidal dictator Saddam Hussein. The brains behind The Ali G Show with his cast of characters - Bruno the gay Austrian fashionista, Borat the Kazakhstan journalist and Ali G the gangster wannabe - will star in the May 2012 film, The Dictator. Cohen's last film was the wildly successful Bruno, which pulled in $140 million in 2009 while offending many, many people. Video clips of the characters are below the fold.
