There's Method to Adrien Brody's madness in exclusive clip from 'Dice'

Comedian Andrew Dice Clay may have demonstrated some impressive acting chops in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine and the Martin Scorsese-directed pilot of HBO’s music biz drama, Vinyl.

It was still a bit of a surprise, however, to learn that Oscar-winner Adrien Brody was set to appear opposite Clay on his Showtime meta-sitcom Dice, which finds the once enormously successful standup playing a professionally-reduced, Las Vegas-dwelling version of himself. But appear Brody most certainly does, as a new clip from the next episode of Dice, which airs Sunday, April 17, at 9:30 p.m. EST, abundantly proves.

Dice also stars Kevin Corrigan with guest stars Natasha Leggero, Michael Rapaport and Lorraine Bracco. 

You can see that exclusive clip above.
