I am so easily amused

I know, a brother needs bread/cheese/dough/rent money, but it's still hilarious to see celebs that you're used to seeing with memorable roles in TV shows shilling for dollars in ads. Like, just now - BODIE! in an ad as a Fed Ex delivery man.


I got yo package right here, son.


That's all I hear. Poor thing.

Speaking of which, has Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje been in anything recent*? Because all I'll ever be able to remember him from will be Oz. Serious, this gif says it all:


And I'm now getting to the point where seeing Dean Winter in those Allstate commercials doesn't make me flash back to random moments from Oz

And i know Michael K. Williams has been on Boardwalk Empire and is now on Community. But he will forever be Omar to be. And so I'd LOVE to see him selling Grey Poupon. I don't know, that just came to me. An Omar could make that happen.

Feel free to throw up names of actors who've played iconic or memorable roles in your opinion, roles that have made it tough to see them play/ing anyone/thing else in commercials.

*IMDB.com says Lost. Okay, then.

How was that?? I'm planning on seeing it on Tuesday.

And yay! More Adebisi. I remember him playing a warlord in The Bourne Identity. Wasn't too far off from the Adebisi persona, which is why it must have slipped my mind.

Oops, sorry, late useless reply.

I liked the prequel. It wasn't as good as the original, but it worked for me. I was happy with the way it ended and I loved that several scenes were echoes of the original movie. Also liked the way they blended the ending with actual footage from the original.
