Well one of them anyway. John Lehr, who played one of the caveman in an earlier spot, (the one holding the mic boom), let me know that in addition to two new Geico spots, he’s in a new series ‘10 items or less’ on TBS, premiering Monday, Nov. 27 at 11:00 pm. Check it out here.He plays store manager Leslie Pool, who also has a MySpace with show clips. You can also see more of John on his website, as well as behind-the-scenes pics of his caveman transformation.
UPDATE: Anonymous in the comments reveals that Jeff Daniel Phillips and Ben Weber are two of the cavemen as well. Check here for more info on them.

I want a feature length Caveman movie. Three dudes in LA trying to make it big in the "biz". One is a boom operator trying to sneak in the back door. Another gets minor roles here and there - as a caveman. And the last is an agent. Not to be confused with "Encino Man" - this would actually be funny - but we'll give Pauly Shore a cameo as the bellhop, a la Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Pauly doesn’t ‘do’ cameos or walk-ons.
Speculation about the identity of caveman number 2 as Matthew John Armstrong, currently playing Theodore Sprague (AKA "radiation man") on NBC's Heroes. Dude looks a lot (as in twins) like the Geico caveman. Am officially resigned to my own dorkitude for posting this.
"Matthew John Armstrong ... Dude looks a lot (as in twins) like the Geico caveman."
don't know this actor, so would this be with or without make-up? :P
Doych:
MJA on Heroes is sporting a similar shaggy 'do and scraggy beard as the cavemen.
I spent the entire episode wondering if it was a Geico guy. The mannerisms and voice are clues too.
Show's on Monday nights at 9pm - give a gander, see what you think.
What is it about those commercials that are so flippin' funny? The latest spot with the Cnn/style news interview... "standing upright, inventing the wheel, laying the foundation for all of mankind. Yeah! Sorry we couldn't get that to you sooner!"
Brilliant stuff!
The Oscars or Grammy's need to have those cavemen introduce an award or something - they are becoming a cult attraction just like how the Blue Men started. Headline on the Strip in the future? Hmmmm...
I found this by googling the words geico caveman and armstrong together. From Armstong's own mouth:
"As for Armstrong, he's looking forward to getting recognized for a part he's actually playing; seems the scruffy-faced Sprague has gotten him confused with a certain advertising icon. 'For the record,' he says, 'I am not the Geico caveman.'"

Hello. I find your blog very interesting. I learned about the company from www.pissedconsumer.com. I think that geico is a great company. As you know, GEICO provides auto insurance to Americans living overseas through its International Insurance Underwriters agency. It is so convenient and efficient. You have to deal with a native company that know exactly what your needs are.
