Daniel Roberts, a truck driver who is president of Youth Shooters of America, learned of his awkward appearance on the Showtime series from a friend's Facebook message while he was going to bed Sunday night. "I don’t get Showtime," he says. "I had absolutely no idea. Sacha Baron Cohen — it’s like, 'Who?' I guess he was kind of big in the early 2000s for some stuff? He never was on my radar as anyone I knew about or followed." Roberts, who taped the bit with Erran Morad in July 2017, thought he was filming for Israeli TV. Following his appearance, Roberts says he's exploring his legal options. "This was a malicious, willful and deliberate act on the part of Sacha Baron Cohen, the production company and Showtime, who blatantly lied to me about the purpose of the entire thing, in a deliberate effort to humiliate me," says Roberts.
