Yeah, but when she asks him if he’s gonna say it, he says, “Oh, he knows…” I read an article about the guy-he actually says he hopes this is only temporary-he likes the job, because it’s a start, but since he was a stage trained actor, he feels a little stupid. ---

I saw the only nationally-broadcast thing the Dell kid did before Dell. It was an early-morning ad for a contest on A&E. He sucked in that too. So he might feel stupid for doing the Dell ads but it’s not because he’s a better actor than that. ---

You know, I had a friend in high school who looked quite a bit like the Dell Guy, and who sounded _exactly_ like him. He was valedictorian of his class. He’s going to Harvard now. Because of this, I absolutely LOVE the Dell guy :D. ---
