Based on this ad on Craigslist, apparently enough time has passed for Osama to be a punchline.
The ONION is casting for an Arab-speaking male actor (roughly 30 to 50 years old) to play Osama Bin Laden in an upcoming video segment. We’re hoping that you’ll have strong comedy chops, be comfortable with improv, and can be absolutely fearless in your performance. If you’re interested, please send headshot/resume to onionwebvideo@gmail.com.
Osama + comedy chops = Emmy.
I'm very cognitive of how difficult it is for actors to get gigs. Gigs are far and few between. An actor's motto seems to be you take what you can get even if that means dinner theater, Red Shoe Diaries or in the case of Brandon Routh aka Superman, an informerical for rope yoga (how many fucking variations of yoga are there?).

Funny. I woulda thought Superman was more of a Bowflex kind of a guy.
