SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC TO GUEST STAR AS GENOCIDE MIKE MIKHAILOVIC ON HBO’S SOPRANOS (via Chase me ladies, I’m in the cavalry)

Taking advantage of a break in his two-year long war crimes trial, former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic signed on to guest star in three upcoming episodes of the popular HBO series, The Sopranos. Milosevic’s lawyers obtained a work-release order from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Netherlands.

The dapper and telegenic Milosevic was cast as a Serbian crime boss, Dragan Mikhailovic, known as Genocide Mike for his habit of killing everyone in the neighborhood. In the projected episodes, boss Tony Soprano invites Mike to help him eliminate a faction of the Buggerino family in Morristown, New Jersey, but things go widly astray.

Milosevic’s agent, Ellis Cooperman of the Chasin Agency, told The Pox, “Slobo’s a natural. He has poise, can memorize his lines in a flash and somehow projects a real dark side, you know, a sort of killer instinct.”

Asked if that might go badly at his trial, Cooperman laughed. “Lighten up, man,” he said, “this is just a TV show. Personally, I think his killer thing is just, you know, a pose – something that he used for political purposes. Anyway, that’s not our business. We just think he’ll help keep The Sopranos fresh and vibrant. Plus, he says he needs the money.”
