Will Ferrell drops body double with 'Casa de mi Padre'Will Ferrell faced not one, but two challenges while filming his latest comedy, “Casa de mi Padre." In the movie, Ferrell plays Armando Alvarez, who, along with his brother, winds up in a feud with a Mexican drug lord when they try to save their father's ranch. To pull it off, throughout the film, Ferrell spoke entirely in another language. "I thought it would be so interesting and funny, [and that's] where the genesis of the idea came from, was to actually commit to an entire movie in Spanish.
