Two people rang me tonight to say they had seen the VW Golf commercial on TV, the one I did the other week. You notice I didn't say they had seen me in the commercial because, of course, those of you who have been reading my blog regularly (yes, both of you) will know that my character is carryong a secret camera in his bag so you only hear my voice. On the subject of commercials I've done a lot ads over the years and last year I did one for Dyson cleaners for the USA. Although the ad was for quite a lot money I was more excited about which thrilling location I'd be whisked away to for the filming; New York? L.A.? Maybe somewhere mad like the Arizona desert?! The excitement didn't last long when I found out it was to be a one day shoot in Kentish Town (North London). However, I looked up the director, Nicholas Barker, on the net and watched some of his ads on his website. There are lots of very funny TV commercials on his bit of the web but I think the one that made me laugh most was this one: Cheesey Bread. Enjoy the ad (check out some of his others too on www.nicholasbarker.com ) and wach out for me in the VW Golf ad; well, don't watch out for me, you wont be able to watch me in the ad, just listen for me, although you do see a bit of my hand at some point… oh OK, I'm boring myself now.
