Everyone knows Sacha Baron Cohen as the funny bloke who created Ali G, Borat, Bruno and other hilarious characters.
He has a good schtick going in Hollywood, however he's decided to switch it up a bit and is starring in a pretty heavy film about espionage, the Middle East and changing Israel forever.
The Spy is 'inspired by the real-life story of former notorious Mossad agent, Eli Cohen, who successfully goes undercover in Syria and ultimately changed the course of Israel's history', according to Netflix.

"Holy hell, what a reversal of acting. Definitely down to watch this," one person said.
"It's so strange see Sacha Baron doing drama, but I definitely going to watch it," wrote another.
A third added: "I love it when actors known for a certain genre take on a completely different one."
