Let them do games in Greensboro, where they never finished the paint job.

Also, in terms of the pig commercial, since the way the SAG commercial contract is structured, the 2 actors in that spot have made a ton of money. The spot first aired in 2010 and with holding fees, renegotiations and residual designation, that kid probably has made enough to pay for college, which he may now be attending.

Pic?I made a good living as an actor in the 1980s and ‘90s shooting TV commercials and, later, voice-overs. Mine was one of those faces you probably came to say, “Who is that guy? Whoever he is, I’m sick of him.” But every time you said that, residuals, baby.

So OT!!!!! A VERY young NYBri since I shot this spot in 1992. Because it ran so long, it was profitable. Not unlike the mother and son in the Geico Pig commercial.

Ey yo! Nice job! 1992 was a good year.
So, now that we watched it, do we send the check to the company, or direct to you?
Who knew we had a celebrity in our midst?!? So cool! I remember this commercial! This is obvious but, for the record, you are much more attractive and well-spoken than the pig.

I've been pretty hard on CA this year .i take all that back . The announcers for the Arizona game were a abomination.
Thank goodness — I totally recall this commercial— and now you can put to rest something I’ve been carrying around with me for +3 decades with seemingly no hope of resolving. Why was that vegetable so snapping fresh at the end? If Pam was used to cook it certainly it wouldn’t be THAT crisp! But why would they have a cooking spray commercial featuring an uncooked vegetable at the end?! Either sound department went to bold on the dub in post or the director at the end had you ad lib from the script or the crew got notes from the client. In this case, PAM.
. Inquiring minds want to know. Or at least mine.Yeah, get them residuals!! I feel like you can make a run for Lindt chocolateer guy or if possible take out the Trivago guy.
Ultimately as fellow Duke fan it would be great if Coach K did another Bud commercial or if Coach S did a remake and you could star too and rock them residuals with a Duke connection!
Yup. I think at that point in time AZ had about 18 free throws to Duke’s 9 (give or take).
And we get the Jackson clown again Saturday night.
It's always Arizona. Remember 2001? Billy Packer early in the title game, foul whistled on Az, Packer says "Wow, sure are a lot of calls on Arizona here" (or words to that effect). At that time, Duke I believe had one more foul than the Wildcats.
