VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I just found this on-the-set photo of a Milkbone Dog Biscuit commercial I did many moons ago (that's the camera on the left, C stand and flag on the right) where I was barbecuing and I had to toss the treats over my shoulder and hopefully get them to land near the dog's mouths so they could catch them. They had trainers holding the smaller dogs and they'd push them up on cue so they looked like they were lunging for the treats.

I realize I've now played a "chef" at least a couple of dozen times in my career for print, industrials, and even a recent series of radio ads as an Italian chef for a restaurant chain in Atlanta. This inspired me, beyond my better judgment, to add a link here to my most recent on-camera spot for a car dealer group where I play a...you guessed it. I'm not a fan of these kinds of auto spots, but it's 45 minutes in and out and the pay ain't bad.

Would you buy a car from this man?

So, if you need someone who can "cook", if you know what I mean, let me know. I've got the chops.

Oh I slay me sometimes.

Enjoyed that, Bruce, though the poor woman voicing those too-many words at the end bit sounded like a chipmunk on steroids.

But you looked comfy, trustworthy, and uncle-y.
Well done.

Terrific. I especially love the flour make-up!

Bruce,
Those dog biscuit commercials were national, weren't they? I could swear I've seen that before.

Then again perhaps I saw you when I was living out in Arizona. Either way, very VERY cool indeed!
