From Entertainment Weekly:

Russell Brand was so funny in a minor Forgetting Sarah Marshall part that he’s now reprising the character as a starring role in Get Him to the Greek. I saw the spin-off last night, and while Brand once again draws copious LOLs as debauched Brit-rocker Aldous Snow, Get Him to the Greek introduces a scene-stealing supporting actor of its own: none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs.

As Sergio Roma, the chief of fictional label Pinnacle Records, Diddy is basically playing a way over-the-top version of himself, the chief of real label Bad Boy Records. “The music business is failing,” Sergio announces to a room full of employees in his first scene. This is, of course, an actual problem faced by Diddy at his day job. Sergio then berates his underlings in a way that will ring bells for anyone who’s seen MTV’s Making the Band, though he gets to use lots of colorful profanity since this is an R-rated movie instead of a basic-cable series. He’s the demanding boss we all know him to be, only meaner, crazier, more absurd.
