unomusette There's a new Mayhem commercial currently on TV, this time featuring the fabulous Tina Fey and a very large and enthusiastic pup!

I so love those ads, they should be longer. Does the guy in them ever play straight roles? You'd not be able to take him seriously....

The actor's name is Dean Winters, and he's had a long and successful career acting in both comedic and dramatic roles. I hardly follow any shows on TV except news and a sitcom or two every now and then, so I never noticed him other than in the Mayhem commercials.

Here's the Wikipedia article on him.

This ad was on a TV programme about chocolate the other day, it bright back a lot of nostalgia -

My mum said "look, it's Jeff!" She clearly needs new glasses because that guy on the bongos doesn't even have a beard!
