Leon Ernest "Schucks" Schuster (born 21 May 1951, Vereeniging) is a South African filmmaker, comedian, actor, prankster and singer. After studying at the University of the Orange Free State and teaching for two years, he joined the SABC, where he made the Afrikaans phone-prank radio series Vrypostige Mikrofoon with Fanus Rautenbach. His candid-camera feature You Must Be Joking! (1986) began a long run of hidden-camera and slapstick comedies, including Oh Schucks...! Here Comes U.N.T.A.G., There's a Zulu on My Stoep and Mr Bones (2001), his most successful film. He also recorded a string of best-selling Afrikaans and rugby albums.
