Susan Lucci is in a lot of these. A wine commercial in the 70s, WebTV in the 90s, and a Ford Taurus commercial which was also in the late 90s.

I've seen singer Adam Levine in infomercials for ProActiv acne treatment. Discussing how it's helped his serious acne problem and how he wished it was around when he was younger. They even show a picture of him when he was a teenager and yeah his acne was pretty bad.

Richard Karn

Was in an infomercial for Little Giant ladders in costume as his HI character Al. He is also in a new commercial now for the Silver Bullet Hose, which I happened to see last night.

Little_stinker · 10-16-2019, 03:29 PM

Is there a source such as IMDB that lists an actors commercial work?

Little_stinker · 10-16-2019, 03:34 PM

There used to be a stigma for established actors to do commercial work.

Has that changed in recent years?

stevea · 10-22-2019, 09:44 PM

There's famous stuff if you go back in time---

Nancy Walker for Bounty towels (as "Rosie").
