Leon Schuster, né le 21 mai 1951, est un réalisateur, acteur, humoriste et chanteur sud-africain, issu de la communauté afrikaner.

Biographie

Diplômé de l’Université de l’État libre d'Orange, Leon Schuster a commencé sa carrière d'abord comme un chanteur de musique populaire de langue afrikaans.

Il s'est aussi fait connaitre comme interprète comique de films de caméras cachés exploités au cinéma au niveau international (série des You must be Jocking) et pour la réalisation de comédies. Il est présenté souvent comme le successeur de Jamie Uys en tant que roi du film comique en Afrique du Sud. Certains de ses films comme There's a Zulu On My Stoep ("il y a un zoulou sur ma terrasse") sont aussi soupçonnés parfois d’une forme d’inconscient raciste. Néanmoins, les films de Schuster attirent le plus grand nombre de spectateurs sud-africains depuis le début des années 1990.

In South Africa, Sweet Coetzee wins an award for 20 years service as a sportscaster on his 40th birthday, beating his rival, pompous George "The Weasle" Weedle. After Sweet gets drunk one night at his birthday party, he misses a sportscast and his boss, Bryce Williams demotes him to interviewer and promotes Weedle. Through the next part of the film we see that Sweet is reckless as he openly says his girlfriend, Sandy is "the best bum in the business". A subplot of the film are two robbers, "Bossy" and "Savage" who the main characters remain remotely unaware of as they are just a comic theme. Sweet pulls a prank on Weedle during a golf game and is suspended for six month. Sweet also records Weedle having humorous intercourse with a prostitute, "The Orphan in a Storm". Sweet then decides to drown his sorrows in a casino at the slot machines, where he tricks a small boy, Alfred "Shorty" Short into thinking he is a genie. Bossy and Savage try to rob the casino when they accidentally break the disco ball and it knocks Sweet unconscious just as he hits the jackpot.
