Have you noticed there has been a lot of television commercials lately with big name, A list actors appearing in them. Like there's this one for Google TV with Kevin Bacon:
Then Planter's Peanut has this new ad campaign with Mr. Peanut being voiced by Robert Downing Jr
It's just a little bizarre. Normally when you see an actor appearing as a character in a television commercial is a sign that their career has tanked and you have this, 'Oh yeah, hey. I wondered what happened to them,' moment - doing the narration voice over for something like a car commercial is different - but you don't get that with these.
They're quirky. The humor in them gives you the feeling that, what with being big shot celebrities and always doing big-budget, Hollywood movies, they took these up on a fling; a fun, little 'what-the-heck.' Bet they still got paid like crazy even for this little bit of performance.
