Isla Fisher is one of the funniest and charming actresses in Hollywood. She may seem like Amy Adams' doppelganger and we have to say is equally talented when it comes to acting. You have probably seen Fisher in a lot of supporting roles in films such as Wedding Crashers, Tag but you will be surprised to find out that she has done several films as the led actress and totally aced it. Fisher’s played plenty of iconic roles throughout her relatively short career and we bet it's her amazing comic timing that brought her close to her husband Sacha Baron Cohen who is an ace British comedian himself.
