After his recent turn as a gung-ho Israeli security expert in hit comedy spoof Who Is America?, Sacha Baron Cohen takes on a far more serious role this week as a Mossad agent in new Netflix drama series The Spy.

The Ali G and Borat star takes the lead as real-life agent Eli Cohen, who is considered a national hero in Israel after he went undercover in Syria in the 1960s when the two nations were on course for war.
