Following his Moneyball success, Jonah Hill has picked up another dramatic role, this time starring opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's upcoming The Wolf of Wall Street. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hill is in negotiations to play Danny Porush, the best friend and business partner of Long Island stockbroker Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio) in a film that chronicles the pair's meteoric rise and colossal fall amid scandal, fraud and excess in the '90s.
