During filming for an episode of the NBC drama Medium, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen—in the guise of his character Bruno—disrupted the set as a comedic sketch for his upcoming film.
Medium Disruption Sketch Info
The disrupted sequence was a courtroom scene starring Patricia Arquette. Filming took place on November 7, 2008. Cohen made outbursts that forced the sequence to be continually restarted. He was eventually removed from the set.EW.com: Bruno Sacha Baron Cohen disrputs Medium (November 17, 2008)
It is unclear whether Cohen brought his own film crew or if he will rely on NBC to turn over the outtakes. NBC, which produces Medium, is a corporate sibling of Universal Studios, which is producing the Bruno film.EW.com: Bruno Sacha Baron Cohen disrputs Medium (November 17, 2008)
Adventures of Bruno
