Has anyone seen the Toyota Camry tv commercial with a guy driving his Camry and talking in his cell phone headset to a another guy. The other guy looks like Mickey Rorke. If so, at least his 9 1/2 WEEKS co-star won an Oscar.
SIS: See my latest post on Anna Nicole and be on the lookout for an article I emailed you. I'm from North Carolina, which is where Loews was founded. I see their commercials here in Houston all the time---I'll listen for Hackman next time. As for paying the bills, Texan Tommy Lee Jones is doing voice-overs for Southwestern Bell. I suggested to a former co-worker of mine at former Reliant Energy (now CenterPoint Energy) he should get ex-Houstonian Anna Nicole to do tv commercials for his company-----I assured him everyone would start watching them.
One of the fun things about commercials in recent years is trying to put a name with the voice, because more and more celebrities are doing commercial voice overs lately. I can usually spot them right away, especially the real noticable ones like Sam Elliot, Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Goldblum.
Martin Sheen did Toyota,I have also heard Roy Schieder, recently in several, as well as the late Jack Lemmon, who did Honda commercials..Frank Langela also does stuff.. Anyone remember Mark Lenard's (Sarek, Spocks father) old commercials for Volvo??
I've noticed Gael Garcia Bernal of Amores perros and Y tu mamá también in a jeans commercial (the one where he and a young lady I don't recognize are pursued in their car by someone, and they get rid of the car by pushing it off a dock, and after a moment's reflection he dives in the water to retrieve a French translation dictionary from the car before they leave). Isn't that Bjork in another spot in the same ad campaign?
Jeff Goldblum may be doing only voiceovers at the moment, but for a while he was doing many of Apple's commercials, appearing on camera in a great many of them.
