Ok, I may have been living under a rock, and you all have discussed this but....
Is Christian Borle the Ebay guy in the commercial? The clerk that sings to the tune of That's Amore? Gr8 commercial.

Posted: 4/24/04 at 12:08pmI don't know about the guy in it, but the voice sounds A LOT like Broadway vet Howard McGillin.

Posted: 4/24/04 at 5:50pmI love that commercial. It's so cute. One night I Wicked_Elphie and I were talking on the phone and I was like "Whoa! That's totally Christian Borle!!" I've since recorded the commerical on tape, since I'm a loser like that and tape all kinds of random theater stuff.

Posted: 4/24/04 at 9:25pmlol, Wicked_Elphie, I saw CATSNY's mention of bug eyes before I scrolled up to see your post, and I was thining "no way. There can't be anyone else who loves those bug eyes as much as we do!" and then I saw it was you... lol he's too cute.

Posted: 4/25/04 at 5:38pmThe woman who stands opposite of Christian and looks at him funny is Barbara Marineau. She played Mrs. Potts on Broadway for a few years. Was in "A Man of No Importance" and "The Women." I did a show with her a few years ago in stock. Great performer. Too bad she doesn't say anything in the commercial!

Posted: 4/25/04 at 5:58pmthat's funny. what i get from watching the commercial is that the guy's a too-bit actor who can't really sing, but croon on key...? and he's now playing jimmy?
#19Christian in EBAY Commercial?
Posted: 4/25/04 at 6:01pmI really enjoy his work in "Elegies." I think the "too-bit crooner" thing he pulls off on the commerical would be called acting. Although, I have never seen him live, so I can't speak to whether he's always like that or not. But I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt.
