Title: Who is that actor??
Post by: DemonBrew on June 01, 2005, 11:34:46 am

You know the guy - light skinned black guy, 30ish, thin goatee, unkempt afro. He's in everything! Best Buy, Mountain Dew, I think Nextel (woman getting a massage at a spa - gets a call from work "not a good time". There's a commercial of him and a buddy are cheering watching some sports game on tv and the girlfriends are sitting iin the kitchen rolling their eyes. Something about "scent is tied to emotions" or some BS. WHO IS THAT ACTOR? He rarely says a line, but he is everywhere.

Hey, who knew?

Seriously - is there like a imdb.com for tv commercials? This is driving me crazy today. I've done all kinds of google searches, found out he's in commercials for:
McDonald's - I'm Lovin It
Got Milk
Best Buy - customer stage dives from speakers
Foot Locker
The new $20 bill
Mountain Dew - the Bug Zapper commercial

Persistance pays off. I figured out who it is. His name is Danny Wooten.

http://imdb.com/name/nm0941343/
http://imdb.com/name/nm0941342/

He's been on Broadway tap dancing, won Star Search, has been on TV shows like Moesha, B horror movies, and tons of commercials.

Ok, now I can go back to work.

You must be soooooo incredibly bored. Next thing you know, you'll be checking some arcade forum every 10 minutes and... oh. Nevermind.
