Adrien Brody (born April 14, 1973) is an American actor and film producer best known for his role as Władysław Szpilman in the 2002 biographical war drama film The Pianist, for which he became the youngest actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor at age 29. He hosted Saturday Night Live on May 10, 2003 where he was banned from the show after giving an improvised introduction while wearing faux dreadlocks for Jamaican reggae musical guest Sean Paul (Lorne Michaels is notorious for hating unscripted performances). However, the unscripted intro remains in reruns of the episode.

He was also impersonated by Taran Killam on the October 13, 2012 episode during the "Gillette" filmed commercial sketch.
