Friday September 17, 1999: | |

Prior to the SAG-Must-Join
AmeriTech Cellular commercial, I added to my
resume
the two comical [non-union] commercials for which I was booked as the lead principal talent: the
Fox NHL Championship 2000
and
Fox NBA Basketball 2000
home games (for PlayStation).
The two spots were filmed at the Mack Sennett studios Friday September 17, 1999. I played the head scientist studying two sets of sports fans (hockey and basketball) isolated from Fox Televion NHL games. One group gets the respective Playstation game, the hockey control group are relegated to a sewing machine and floral print material while the basketball control group are consigned to arts and crafts. |

Wearing my own glasses and lab coat, I was provided with a lab photo ID card.
Both spots should be humourous enough that anyone seeing them should remember them.
They started airing around November 1st (1999), albeit mostly on
Fox Sport Net,
their web site on which they
promote both games.
I was told they "could" be airing during the
Fox Sport Net
half-hour show The Last Word,
but after taping several edition I've never seen my spots there. |

Update: I did receive a complimentary video of the commercial spots from the ad agency. Update: local friends have been seeing the spots enough to remember telling me that they've seen it. I was informed by a fellow actor that it airs on ESPN "all the time." The following week he told me that when he attended a Lakers game, the spots were shown on the Staples Center Arena JumboVision telecast system. |
