And, Glenn just did the recently launched 'Fresh' spots for Ruby Tuesday which they seem to have abandoned pretty quickly.

Not to mention Hackman’s groundbreaking work on Lowe's. (*crowd groans* Ok, I had to, it was there.)

Visa/Apple guy is Ed Grover, repped by Sutton Barth Vennari.

And isn't Clooney doing the new Budweiser ads?

Yeah, Clooney does some. And the guy from The Unit does All State. Even Balwdin is turning into a commercial whore everywhere I look. (Probably has to still pay for the divorce.)

I was trying to avoid a list of just any celebrities who did a spot vs. people/celebs who did them so well for so long, that they became part of the vocabulary.

Man, that's too deep for a Thursday.
