Norm Lewis may need a new agent — Page 2

A) Why on earth do people working the jobs they probably hate assume that actors have the privilege of picking and choosing only the most fulfilling of labor? Acting is just another profession.

B) If you're that concerned about rising healthcare costs, it's an ED drug, which plenty of insurance companies don't even cover because they don't recognize ED as the kind of medical condition it's necessary to treat at their expense. Seriously, you can find way better targets to hit at than this.

Ya'll better back off Norm! He IS and always will be a hot sweet
potatoe and a "fine gentleman", if I may say.

Mandy Patinkin convinced me to ask my doctor about Crestor. My doctor said I shouldn't take medical advice from someone who is so manic in his singing.

And lets not forget June Allyson for Depends
or Martha Raye for Polident
or Ethel Merman for Vel dishwashing liquid.
Video on U tube.

Back to the point of the original post ...

I DO believe June Allison wet her pants. I DO believe Martha Raye had false teeth.

But Norm Lewis is not convincing as an impotent man!

June Allyson didn't say she used adult diapers in the original Depend ads. But like others have said, an ad is an ad. I doubt Norm Lewis is losing any sleep worrying about how people think he has ED

You can't go back to something that didn't exist.

Any other actors think he might have taken the job to get a good laugh at the same time as get some moolah in the bank?

You're only ever one commercial character away from never having to work for money again. Then you can do what you really love to do. Theatre.

You think Flo is hurting for anything? How about that the guy who played Santa in that M&Ms commercial that's been crammed down our throats every single year for 16 years. You never know what's going to be the big one.

Then a pharmaceutical company spending 40% of their budget on advertising pays actors tens of thousands of dollars on unnecessary commercials. (Is there ANYONE out there who needs a TV ad to know there are little blue pills available if they need them?)

Yes! PLENTY! How do you think Viagara became a thing? On the street? BWAHAHAHAHA!

These expenses then raise the cost of the drugs which gets spread across all the company's products which keeps health care costs rising as a rate faster than most people can afford,

No, they don't raise them. The execs raise them BECAUSE THEY CAN. They're not competing with anyone and until somebody comes out with a generic. Until that happens, they're the monopoly.

Then following the next performance, actors have to continue to ask people to donate more money to pay for more health care costs.

Yes, when Norm is asking at the end of a performance to donate to BCEFA, that is of your OWN FRUITION, he really means so struggling HIV patients can get their boner pills so they can go get WORSE HIV and not get their medications so they may live a bit longer.

Honestly, do you read before you hit submit because honestly this sounds like the ramblings of an uniformed idiot.

Get over it. All the men in those commericals are hot, with women usually 10 years younger than them. Norm fits the bill. Good for Norm. Allows him to get some $$$ and not have to do a show like SCANDALOUS ala Mr. Hearn.
