has staged another audacious prank - disrupting a scene being filmed
for the television drama Medium.
Patricia Arquette
The British comedian and filmmaker managed to gain access to the set
of the NBC show about a psychic played by Patricia Arquette
and get into the jury box of a tense court scene.
His repeated interruptions led to filming being halted as security staff
were brought in to remove him from the set.
It was only afterwards that people present realised the gatecrasher's identity,
according to Entertainment Weekly, which first reported the incident.
"No one had a clue it was Sacha playing Bruno,"
one insider told the magazine.
"It's amazing he was able to infiltrate the set and pull this off."
It remained unclear how the Borat star managed to get access
to the set or whether he was secretly filming footage for his new film
based on the character of Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion show presenter
who first appeared on Cohen's breakthrough television series Da Ali G Show.
The scene from Medium had to be re-shot, Entertainment Weekly reported.
The actor and comedian has staged several recent stunts dressed as Bruno,
presumably for use in the forthcoming film, a follow-up to 2006's Borat
being shot in a similar documentary-style.
Just before the election, Cohen dressed as Bruno to gate-crash a Los Angeles rally
in support of Proposition 8, the measure to ban gay marriage approved by Californians this month.
Earlier in the autumn he was ejected from a number of catwalk shows
in Paris, Madrid and Milan.
