So,

there is the 2 guys sitting in the cafe at lunch. The mover and shaker is making changes to his excel file and then emailing his client the new numbers. His buddy is obviously quitting crack, and looks like he could go postal any time. Anger management seems to be in his future.
Anyway, Is the crack guy the same dopey guy who rents a car for his Mother. "It's not expensive ma", "they pick you up, ma".

A couple in the Jeep dealer. they hear all of the options. The girl says "mopar parts', and dreams of swinging her child around or something. The guy says "free gas" and dreams of driving through the mud. The both say "we'll take it"
Was the girl on 24. She was the evil sister who joined up with the evil muslims. Can't even think of which season.

thanks for reminding me that these 2 commercials need to go in the hated thread.

as far as your question, I have no idea, but I think you might be right about enterprise guy/crack man LOL

The 2 guys in the cafe happens to be one of my favourite commercials

The Kiprusoff look-alike guy in the VW commercial is also in the Wendy's commerical where he's eating that singing burger. There's my contribution to this thread.

I worked with a guy who has carved out quite a niche being that dude in the commercial guy. Off the top of my head I know he is in about 5 Pizza Hut commercials as a delivery guy, The Hyundai commercial where he parks on a mound of dirt and puts a dog in the back of his UTE, wears a ballernia's tutu a commercial for the video game ATV Off Road and is in the McDonalds ministick golaie commercial as a guy on the bench.

I don't see his commercials listed on the imdb site.

Red Greens nephew is now doing Canadian Tire commercials.

I could stare at Dion's sig for hours.

Heeheehee - right beside the Viagra ad. Who would've thought Marleau'd ever get up again?

Almost certain the actress in the Chrysler commercial wasn't in 24.

Lots of thin blondes in acting. ha.

Other Canadian actor doubles:

Few years back, the guy that did the Superfries commercial coming out the shower with no clothes on and the mother in law was there...same guy as Rub A535 where he's contorting his body after a golf or tennis injury.

The tubby guy on the Keg commercial, the loner that comes in to drink as the lounge opens, sitting at the bar until his supposed friends show up, now doing Investors Group Commercials.

Guy that used to be on Molson (Dry?) commercials, did Chili in a Breadbowl at Tim Hortons a coupe years back, now doing another Canadian Tire ad (the one with BBQ's).

Other guy that used to be on Molson commercials...red head. Did Halls commercial (trying to yelle fore at the golf course, but couldn't), something else that I can't remember, then currently Listerine as one of the mascots.

Just find it hard to believe there is such a small talent pool out there for Canadian commercial actors, that the same ones have to pop up multiple times like this.

The hot blonde chick from Billable Hours on showcase honed her skills selling Cornettos, Peek Freens and I think was in a car commercial as well.

EDIT: It was a Rolo Chocolate-cone.

The lady in the catfood commercial - the one who tells her "cat" that it's the third time this week - is also in the 649 commercial.

The woman in the CT BBQ ad ("What's that, Barbecue?", that one) is Jen Robertson from Comedy Inc.

We all know Evageline Lily did those 1900 "friend chat" commercials prior to her lost fame.

She was also on Video on Trail a few times, I believe.

Who's the guy that dresses up in a toothbrush costume and teams up with the other guy dressed in a mouthwash costume?

I always recognize him...but can't figure out who he is...

That guy has been in a million commercials.

I think I might have seen him in a bit role in a movie once. Movies that are filmed in Canada often have these commercial actors have bit parts, for example the photographer in Bad Santa.

He was in the show on CBC, I think it was called The Tournament or something like that. But yeah, as Icarus said, he's been in lots of different stuff.

Edit: it's this guy...

How 'bout that dude in the cell phone commercial where he's at the airport and loses reception, then sees some other dude with great reception and is awestruck? That guy's been in tons of commercials, usually as the weird guy doing something weird.

Speaking of weird, anybody remember that commercial for some hotel chain about having your office with you everywhere you go? Dude tucks in for bed and everyone from his office is there? Well one of those guys was the "new guy trying to hard or whatever". I was in Toronto, the only time I've ever been in Toronto, and I met that guy walking down the street. He happened to be a friend of another guy I was walking with, who introduced him with, "hey do you remember that commercial ... "

So I'm watching the Flames game last night and a new commercial for a new type of points card comes on for CIBC? There is a guy in a space suit and it's him again!
