Can anyone help me identify this guy?

There’s a commercial on TV now for Hardy’s or Arby’s or something like that. It’s for their new line of “Fresh-made” sandwiches.

It shows some guy walking around asking people if the things advertised as “fresh” really are - like fresh-brewed coffee, fresh corn ("Did _you_ pick this, Farmer Bob?), etc.

Everyone else in the commercial just stares at him, open-mouthed. This makes me think that he is someone famous, someone I should know, someone they are all “surprised” to see.

I think that when he finally gets to the resteraunt, the girl behind the counter addresses him as “Tim,” but I could be wrong.

Can anyone help me out?

Actually, it’s a Subway commercial. And I don’t recognize the guy. I think they’re just agape that someone noticed that these veggies weren’t picked by them.
