Oldest had the 26th quickest freshman girl 5K time in the state this fall. Best part was that she pretty much took it upon herself to keep herself in shape all spring and summer until XC practice started. I wish I had a fraction of her drive when I was her age.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Girlfriend's daughter (who's done modelling in the past) got an offer to do a Jeep TV commercial. Its for an stunning amount of money.
Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Can you PM me this? I’ve always been like a rich guy buying bananas when it comes to commercials. No idea if these things PAY or if they get a couple hundred and “exposure”.

Fuck exposure. There’s a great oatmeal comic about that. Get them checks!

Commercial for Jeep? If it's national, I bet it's enough money to live on for a year, assuming that 5 minute spot she was in that had the tiny house was a somewhat realistic look into her lifestyle. So, what I'm saying is $50k

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
I've always wondered about what some of the well known commercial actors make. People like Flo and Jamie from Progressive and Lily from ATT. These are all professional actors who were looking for work, then it turns out that they end up with these iconic commercial presences. Which means they likely aren't going to be cast in much else (Lily has had a few credits I suppose). But I figure national campaigns for some of the more ubiquitous firms pay pretty dang well.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 7:52 am Commercial for Jeep?

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Don’t know how reliable this link is, but they estimate Flo makes about 2 million a year from Progressive.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
My friend's brother was in a couple long running national ads. My understanding was (and this was 15-20 years ago) that the pay isn't much until the commercial stays on the air for a certain amount of time (6 weeks is sticking in my head, but I really don't remember). He had a commercial that played constantly for months, I remember a discussion about it here because it played constantly during the NCAA basketball tourney. Wish I could remember the ad or why we discussed it. I'm thinking maybe a VW ad and something about a gas station.A_B wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:11 amI've always wondered about what some of the well known commercial actors make.

Just Googled, he is now a main character on a network TV drama! Happy to see he has a solid and steady career. When I met him, he was lamenting that as a Korean actor, he could only get rolls as "Korean guy," but it seems like he can also play Korean doctor, Korean lawyer, Korean detective... My son is obsessed with The Office, and we just saw the episode my friend's brother was in. He had maybe a 5 minute role, but such a cool thing to experience.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
A lot of times, when a character is featured in an entire marketing campaign (like Flo from Progressive), they sign a non-compete deal, which means the campaign is the only thing they can appear in for whatever amount of time, including going beyond when the campaign stops running. They generally get compensated through an annual personal services contract.A_B wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:11 amI've always wondered about what some of the well known commercial actors make.

The "can you hear me now" guy who did Verizon ads for multiple years eventually had his non-compete end, which is why he now shows up in the occasional Sprint ad.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Syb, is your brother's friend who you brought up because he was in a commercial on the episode of The Office where they film a commercial?
Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Lily is:
a) an actress that has been on some fairly well known prime time shows (This Is Us maybe?)
b) can get it.

Quick, name her character!
I admitted she had some credits, including a space show that wasn't terrible but I think only got like a 10 episode run.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Nope, he played a guy from an ad agency filming a commercial for Dunder Mifflin, I think it was season 3. Asian Jim was Randall Park, who is a legit star now.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 12:27 pmWait, did he play Asian Jim??The Sybian wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:50 amMy friend's brother was in a couple long running national ads.

Re: Proud Parental Unit Crowing Thread
Yeah, I was thinking you wouldn't have needed to Google Randall... he's blown up the last 5 years.
Trying to remember that episode... I've been re-watching and listening to The Office Ladies and that one is slipping my mind for some reason.
Ah, I'm only caught up to the early part of S4... Local Ad was S4, Ep9

So I am talking to my son and wife about the Costco/Target ban due to Monkey Labor over dinner. My son say, "What the issue? Don't they know about Jack?" I said, "What in the world are you talking about?" He then tells me this whole story..including the death.
