Police are searching for an Emmy-winning producer who allegedly stabbed his roommate and tenant for laughing at his dreams of winning multiple Academy Awards.

An arrest warrant was issued for Andre Bauth, whose real name is Andre Salaman Bautista, after he allegedly stabbed Clayton Haymes in the chest at their Los Angeles apartment before fleeing. 

The scene could have come straight out of Bauth's own self-produced movie El Landlord, in which he plays an L.A. landlord who kills some of his tenants.

One of his victims was played by Haymes.

The friends were coming back to their apartment after dinner and drinks on Tuesday when Bauth, 36, claimed he would win five Oscars one day, said Haymes. 

'We all laughed a little bit,' Haymes told the New York Daily News. 

'The next thing I know, I'm being chased by Andre with a knife he grabbed from the kitchen. 

Haymes, 23, alleged Bauth then chased him into one of their roommate's rooms before he stabbed him in the chest and punctured his lung.

'Andre never showed this kind of aggression or anger to me before,' said Haymes. 'I pray that he wasn't trying to imitate the plot of El Landlord on me.' 

Bauth faces charges for attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. 

Los Angeles police said Bauth may be arranging for a peaceful surrender, the Los Angeles Times reported. 

Bauth won a Daytime Emmy award earlier this year as a producer for soap opera The Bay. 

The scene could have come straight out of Bauth's own self-produced movie El Landlord, in which he plays an L.A. landlord who kills some of his tenants. One of his victims was played by Haymes
