Andrew Greene filed a complaint Tuesday in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of New York against the filmmakers and Paramount Pictures. Greene claims that the toupee-wearing character Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff was based on Greene, who's nickname is "Wigwam" due to his hairpiece, according to Huffington Post.

The Oscar-nominated film starring Leonardo DiCaprio is base on the 2007 memoir by Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm founder Jordan Belfort, who is played by DiCaprio.

Greene was the firm's head of corporate finance in the 1990s, but he never gave the filmmakers permission to use his likeness.

In the lawsuit, Greene claims that the filmmakers made him look like a "depraved criminal, drug user, and degenerate." "Rugrat," played by P.J. Byrne, is involved with cocaine and has sexual relations with a prostitute, along with other risqué activities.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is up for five Academy Awards at next month's ceremony, including best picture and best director for Martin Scorcese.

Paramount had no comment on the lawsuit.
