Hollywood is taking an important break from Transformers sequels and the Footloose remake to create possibly the most important film of our era: The Untitled Bernie Madoff Project.

TV tabloid show "The Insider" attended an audition, where filmmakers were casting for the lead role. The part went to Paul Cohen, 64, of Jersey City, NJ. Cohen has never acted before, but he’s not about to let his lack of experience hold him back.

Here’s some footage from the casting:

Now that they’ve found their Bernie, who will they hire to play Ruth Madoff? Or Elie Wiesel? I’ll take casting suggestions in the comments.
