I'm pretty sure that Rob Bartlett is in a commercial for Staples that has to do with high gas prices and the easy button but it might not be him.

Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

A while ago, wasn't Mandy Patinkin on a commercial for something? (can't remember what it was)

I am 99.9% sure I saw Aaron Lazar in a Comcast commercial. Loved him as Fabrizio in Piazza!

Barrett Foa's on a Reach toothbrush commercial. He's...brushing his teeth.

Rachel York has been in a series of 3 Comcast commercials. In one she's with friends having a Girl's Night In watching TV and doing Karaoke. A second has her organizing a walk-a-thon. A third has her multi-tasking. It's for cable, internet and phone. I also received a direct mail flyer that had a print ad on the inside cover and then a 12-page brochure that had her all over it! Very cool.

I've seen Greg Jbara's for Caduet. He's at some kind of outdoor cafe dining and dancing.

I very nearly started this thread myself after seeing Steve Rosen recently.

Steve Rosen - Holiday Inn commercial w/ Cal Ripken Jr. Steve was also in a car commercial about a guy who was always hitting bumpers, lampposts, etc while trying to parallel park.

Shuler Hensley - telephone commercial playing on the Hatfields and McCoys

Shuler Hensley and Chris Fitzgerald are both in separate Geico commercials.

Ann Harada is in one of those AT&T commercials with the crazy combined city names "San FranVegas Brunstown"- you get the idea. She is there for a second, and she hands something to the main guy.

Ann Harada also had one of those commercials to herself a while back.

I believe this is a link to Greg's Caduet ad (from his web site):

He filmed an ad for Olive Garden in July but it hasn't aired yet.

Becky Gulsvig is in that Verizon commercial where she's got the dad who looks like a coal-worker and she decorated his phone all pink and sparkly.
