TV Commercial Actors I See Every Day!

He's 'Mayhem' for Allstate commercials. Very funny, effective and memorable. He gets the point across of being prepared for anything and it pushes the Allstate name well.

Plus I know him well from "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit " and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles " among other shows.

Wow where to start? The classic Chevy Santa meets deer hunter commercial. Not sure if he ad-libbed it but look online for an extended version. He's the M.C. who asks stars to try on Depend Silhouette for charity, he eats chalk for a fruit chews ad, kind of gross actually. Now Quickbooks.com and ACE Hardware, in fact I saw him back-to-back as a pizza shop owner and ACE employee!

He talks to the kids Art Linkletter-style. "It's not complicated", etc. Some phone company, they never really focus on the company which is typical and only a couple were funny, the rest of the kids look horribly staged but they're popular somehow.

Much funnier is his "Theatre of Life" YouTube videos. Update. he's on Saturday Night Live now!

He's the funny redhead who plays Bruce in "the other guys" cell phone commercials. He is very dry sometimes and wacky others, but again the premise is so awkward they never put any emphasis on the company name or sell it. I call it "the other guy is bad" premise which really doesn't do anything to push your product much.

Good commercials, bad marketig. I'd love to see him in some comedy shows though!

"Can you hear me now?" Cutest nerd tech on TV! Again, great memorable commercials for a cell phone, except that I had to look at his IMDb page to be reminded it was Verizon. I see he just co-produced a documentary on Divine so I have to find that now!

Ruff McThickridge!

"Where's Flo? Anybody know where Flo is? Are YOU Flo?"

I wouldn't remember Progressive without Flo. The insurance companies seem to do what the cell phone companies don't, and there's a lot of both so instant name-recognition is a must.

The Breath-Right hunk! Fitting that he was a soap-hunk as well on "As th World Turns". Pretty sure that's him on the Sodastream commercial but the lit him in an evil way. Looks a lot like actor Guy Pearce.

Sodastream, now that's an investment, don't start buying all of the equipment and refills if you don't plan to keep on using it!

The Nutty 'Dad' infamous Cox Commercials if they're in your area. Frankly, what was once funny got run into the ground REAL quik IMO! He was also in the USPS Priority Mail commercial as the husband who hid out in the Christmas house on the front lawn, baking Snickerdoodles. And has a lengthy movie & TV resume.

Also from the infamous Cox Commercials, he plays the bealeagured son Tyler. Looks like he acts and has a teen following, esp. boosted from this!

Note: I am very tired of these, and probably would not get Cox service ever again! :p

Seen in the Keurig commercial , 'Just for You'. After making coffee he does a kind of effeminate dip and high-five to his wife. Or sister maybe. ;)

He doesn't seem to be doing them anymore but he was the retro-cute Arby's "Good Mood Food" guy. Good commercials but it never seemed to fit the mood of Arby's as I remember them. But better than what they have now!

He's the dorky hunk in the TV commercials for Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice. I've seen him in a few acting roles but not much.

Great commercial because the catchphrase (unlike Verizon's) actually had the name of the product in it! "Please don't squeeze the Charmin!". You could make any joke or say it all day and you were saying the name of the TP out loud.

Plus Mr. Whipple he was on "Bewitched"! Usually as the drunk in the bar.

To quote IMDb - "She became a TV icon to generations of viewers as Madge, the wisecracking manicurist for Palmolive Dishwashing Detergent. She played this role for 27 years, one of the longest ongoing product endorsement relationships in TV history."

Yes, as a kid I thought adults would get soft hands by putting them in dish liquid, of course we had a dishwasher so I never really knew what else it was for. I remember it by heart, "More than mild it makes loads of suds that last!" But it was always weird how she tricked women into sticking their hands into that dish of green liquid.

Some commercials only play regionally, and he was in one for Keystone Light beer that played in the mid-west, he drank the cheap beer and got "bitter beer face", Look it up on Youtube! Ironically Keystone WAS the cheap beer IMO.

Once on The Tonight Show he lamented that despite his movies, when he went some places they only knew him as the bitter beer guy!
