The other commercial is for Caduet - medicine for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I saw the Caduet ad the other day, right after the Olive Garden one. It looked like his diet of OG gave him high cholesterol!
(I told him the other day that I thought all that yelling he had to do in Billy Elliot had made his voice REALLY deep. And I agree - it does shake you to the core. In a VERY good way!)

I pity his poor "daughter" who comes home from college to visit, and Greg wants to give her a good meal, so he takes her to....the Olive Garden???????????

FYI the Mezzaluna GJ promotes for Olive Garden, not that great. anything that is filled with "cheese" is horrible at olive garden, i fell for it twice. stick with the Alfredo.

I like the commercial. It airs a lot in my city.
"Everytime you step on that stage it is somebody's first Broadway show and somebody's last Broadway show. Make it count."

bumping because I was wondering if Jbara is also in a PearleVision commercial. I swear I saw him when I was getting my breakfast on my way to work this morning.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I just put up a video from a benefit of Menken and Schwartz songs I directed in LA in November of 2007 - just go to youtube.com/user/haineshisway and you'll find it. He's singing Menken and Glenn Slater's Will The Sun Ever Shine. You'll also find Bruce Vilanch, Beth Malone (singing her song from Sister Act), and I'm uploading more - be sure to click on "more" if you don't see them all - I don't really know YouTube all that well, but I'm figuring it out.
