I was just watching The Price is Right, they go to commercial and wouldn't you know it, there's Norb and his TV Family baking Grands Biscuits. LOL. Has anyone seen this?
Sorry if this has ben discussed before, but I gotta run to class so I don't have time to search (I wanted to post this now before I forgot about it).
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Yup. I saw it too. Not sure if it is national or just regional.
Any Norb is better than none!

Awww! I thought this might be a thread about how he resembles the Pillsbury Doughboy! (I love both...)
Now I need to see that commercial.

Posted: 3/4/09 at 11:08amHaha! Yeah I saw the commercial two nights ago. My friends and I are just watching television, and the commercial comes on. I gasp and exclaim, "Whoa ... Norbert Leo Butz!!" to which my friends just stare at me. Great.

I thought this might be a thread about how NLB and the PDB were a new couple.

Posted: 3/4/09 at 12:40pmI saw it. He's adorable. Let's hope that a Tony Award winner can get better roles soon, though. Or "rolls" har har.

Not bakery related, but Norbert will also be in the second version of the pilot that Dave Hemingson's writing for ABC. Let's hope this version does get picked up.

Posted: 3/4/09 at 5:10pmYes, I saw it too. I agree, NLB is much too talented to play against the PDB. Someone give him a movie!!!
The only review of a show that matters is your own.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

As the OP of this thread I think it is me who has the power to choose who won, and Gotham definatley takes this one!
Seriously though, commercials pay an unbelievable lump of money, especially considering how much work an actor puts into them and how long they are. He's probably sitting pretty right now...with complimentary cinnamon buns.
