Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, is one of the biggest films of 2006, and co-star Ken Davitian is a big part of the film’s success. Playing Borat’s Producer, Azamat Bagatov, Ken gets big laughs, and stars in some of the movie’s most outrageous scenes. Who can forget Borat and Azamat wrestling naked in their hotel room, in an elevator, in a crowded meeting? Another hilarious scene features Azamat and Borat scaring children with their pet bear.
 
Although many left the film thinking that Azamat is a real person, he actually is the comic creation of Ken Davitian, an actor of Armenian descent who has been in dozens of films and television shows. Unlike his gruff, crass character, Ken is an articulate, sweet and thoughtful person, and is eager to visit colleges nationwide to meet his fans!

In his college appearances, Ken will talk about the making of the film. From his first screen tests, where Ken convinced the film’s creators he really was a strange and inarticulate foreigner, to the guerilla filming tactics that frequently resulted in visits from local police departments, Ken will share it all. His program includes never-before-heard stories and behind the scenes trivia, as well as some exclusive video clips.  Ken will also talk of his entire career in Hollywood, including roles in films like Holes, S.W.A.T. and  A Man Apart, and on shows including Six Feet Under, The Gilmore Girls, and Boston Legal. And of course, Ken loves his fans, and is happy to pose for pictures and sign autographs.
