I just found out recently that Sam Mendes directs the eBay commercials and that the Girl in the Yellow Dress from Contact was a background dancer for the one when the wife sings "Do you know the way to use eBay" and the bookcase moves to reveal a new sports car. Anyone know if more Broadway folk are in these?

Loretta Swit is doing commercials for Scrapple.
Christian Borle (Sutton's boyfriend) sings "WHEEEEEEEEEEN you can't seem to find the baseball that's been signed, that's on E-Bay..."
Snoopy is the geeky store clerk guy! That's so awesome Does that mean he actually sings the jingle too?
ofcourse! he apparently has a fan that has devoted a webpage to the "Ebay guy".

Geez, I couldn't stand that lady who sang "Do you know the way to use Ebay?" I think it was that "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa" at the beginning of her song. It just didn't sound right.
ha! i was just reading some of the guestbook:
First Name : Jen Cody

Comments : I wanna do you, ebayguy...so can we get rid of your girlfriend?
First Name : Hunter
Location : NJ
Comments : I did him
i thought you were kidding before. i guess "Mr.Snoopy" wasnt so well known.
I love Christian and I was soo excited when I saw this commercial a while ago! I know we have another thread already on this but I'd like to say that I cannot believe someone started a fansite based on his performance in a commercial! Anyone else find it a little odd..not that he wasn't fabulous but wow!

aww Christian's adorable!
Cheno has a Tampax commercial coming up next week.
Will that be airing before or after Indiana's ad for brussel sprouts?
Same time but on different stations. They'll be battling for ratings.
Do you think that they'll split the fans and Donna Murphy's exlax commercial will come out winning?
Donna's exlax commercial will come out smoothly. Don't worry.
I heard that they all were beat in the ratings by Carol Channing's Depends ad...
Damn her and her clever raps.
I heard Tonya Pinkins did a Prozac ad. Any idea when that's airing?
She hasn't decided yet. Last I heard she said it doesn't matter.

The guy in the first musical Ebay commerical - the sorta chubby, balding Jason Alexander type, was Danny Rutigliano, who was in LION KING playing Timon at the time. Updated On: 7/24/04 at 09:18 AM
