Trailer Talk: ‘Get Him to the Greek’

As once admitted by Russel Brand on his infamous BBC radio program: the difference between acting and being himself extends only so far as the size of his hair. This isn’t a bad thing for the controversial comedian, who is loved so much by fans for not just his material, but his personality.
