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).

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.

Posted: 3/4/09 at 2:41pmI'm pretty sure he's still attached to CMIYC...still needs to pay the bills!

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!!!

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.
