Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
Sometimes when I'm reading a script, I can't quite believe that this is going on television alongside cereal commercials.
My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.
Acting wasn't even in my world at all. My oldest sister worked at 'Glamour' magazine and said I should model, but I had no interest.
I'm sure 50 percent of television ads use rhyme.
In my opinion FOX is known for being a network that just advertises, and that's pretty much how they get their viewers.
I make more than a handsome living doing voices for commercials; I hear myself all day on the tube.
The first acting I ever did was an Italian commercial. Once I did that, I said, 'this acting thing is awesome.'
Certainly we're going to continue to see those commercials that I call 30-second drive-by shootings. And they're going to have a lot of money to do it. But we're going to combat it.
Being in adverts, it's a tricky thing, I suppose.
Warner Bros. got into television very early, so I did a lot of television there. In the beginning, it was sort of okay to do television. But then it became this thing where movie actors didn't do television - they certainly didn't do commercials, because that just meant the end of your career.
I did game shows, I did interview shows, I did talk shows, I did commercials, I did acting. But all of that was a million years ago.
When I was on Broadway, people would really just recognize me around the theater. When you're showing up on commercials and posters, the scope of people recognizing you gets a little wider.
After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.
I've fondly dreamed of becoming the face of an important brand since I was a child, in the same way that others dream of becoming an astronaut. I dreamed of this as I first and foremost dreamed of becoming an actor and would look up at these huge posters of celebrities while driving along motorways or crossing under bridges.
I've been in dance schools since I was four. I went to the Brit school. I did adverts and plays.
Both my sisters and I were in Stage Door plays, and we did that together, just in, like, little small plays together. And we did that, and it was really fun, and we kinda did commercials, and it kinda took off from there. It was great; it's what I love.
I did a Clean & Clear commercial. I did a series of them. I used to be the Clean & Clear girl!
We were on a competitive traveling soccer team for nine years. Nikki then went on and played two more years in college. We both started getting into modeling and commercial work.
I do many commercials. All of them are interesting in their own ways.
Here's my tip: Have your production hire the best hair stylists on the planet to do your films and commercials, then casually hint about how great it would be to get a trim during lunch break.
Eisenhower was willing to experiment with television to promote his candidacy, his Democratic opponent Adlai Stevenson was less inclined to do so. Fearful that the election might become a simple decision between “Ivory soap vs. Palmolive,” Stevenson shunned short, televised commercials and opted instead to talk sense to the American people with more substantive speeches.
I did, like, 30 or 40 commercials before 'Will & Grace' where I was the straight husband. I had two spots on the Super Bowl in 1998 where I was the straight dude.
The very first pharmaceutical commercial I ever heard was 15 seconds of the product and 45 seconds of side effects, so I know that this cannot be good for you.
Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.
