Adrien Brody addresses ‘ban’ from TV show after Jamaican accent Adrien Brody has spoken about claims he was ‘banned’ from Saturday Night Live for a controversial skit.
The infamous 2003 performance on the American comedy show saw New Yorker Adrien, now 51, introduce rapper Sean Paul with an exaggerated Jamaican accent while wearing a dreadlock wig.

I’m very emotional today because I’ve been working on it for seven years and it felt urgent every day of the better part of a decade,’ he said at a press conference attended by Metro.
In the 22 years since, Adrien has not appeared on the long-running series, with speculation that the moment is the reason why.
