Tiger Beer TV ad (English; 35mm film)

I play a supporting role (they called it a lead role but it wasn't) in this TV ad to be broadcast in Asia over a
two-year period.

I'm a friend of a guy who creatively sets up an elaborate network of mirrors to be able to watch his soccer game
from anywhere in the house, even on the way to the refrigerator to get another Tiger.

Shot January 2005



Z-100 TV ad


This 30-second spot done in the US has me playing a character named "Johnny Broke", a used car
salesman-type reporting from "Debt". The ad is for a radio station (Z-100) running a promo to pay of
listeners' credit card debt.

Broadcast January, 2003 on Warner Brothers TV (channel 23) in Portland, Oregon, USA.




Pizza Hut TV ad (35mm film)


This has to have been one of the easiest productions I've acted in. All I had to do was pretend to
make some pizza dough with sausage in the crust in front of my miniature elves. They were only
a few inches tall, running around on my kitchen table...yes, it was bizzare...when I worked for
Pizza Hut in college we never had elves...

Broadcast December, 2002.

Cinemax Promo

This 120-second Asia-Pacific promo has me as a spastic French chef introducing movies of each
 day of the week. What this chef lacks in culinary skills is made up in an over-the-top fake accent
and excessively-flamboyant antics.



Broadcast in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan and India. From February
 2002 to February 2003
.

Cinemax Promo


Here the viewers think I'm on a plane, but then as the camera zooms out, it shows that I'm
actually in my living room watching Cinemax and eating popcorn. It was really shot in my own house.

Broadcast in Asia-Pacific; 2003

My wife and I are enjoying a great evening at home watching Cinemax and eating popcorn...
when suddenly...we spot a thief in the house! (See him in the background?) My wife jumps
up to fight off the muscular thief, and I, the timid husband, try to hold her back.

She ends up beating him up and leaving him bruised and battered. In the end, the three of us watch
Cinemax in our house together, and the thief and I agree that my wife is a real 'shero'. This promo is
 for movies featuring heroins ('sheros').

Broadcast in the Asia-Pacific beginning September, 2002.


Cinemax Promo

As a surgeon, another doctor and I are desperately working to apparently save the life of a dying
patient. The scene is tense, and the doctors are running out of time. Suddenly I tell my colleague
that we've got it! It turns out we had fixed the remote control, and I happily turn on the TV. We then
 proceed to eat potato chips out of a stainless-steel operating tray, and drink coke from an IV.

Broadcast in Singapore from April 2002 onwards.


HBO Promo

My character, a cheesy sunbather at a pool, becomes enchanted with a girl as she walks by.
My less-excited friend tells me she's not hot but HBO is.

Broadcast in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, May, 2002.



Capital Land ad  (English; 35mm film)
As a young and well-to-do executive, my character is socialising at a pool party with two other
cool guys. A beautiful woman approaches, but she turns out to be the wife of one of the other guys.
