OK, we watched a training video recently at work, and one of the on-screen narrators, I’m pretty sure, I’ve seen on a commercial for some kind of ‘financial service,’ possibly a loan. In fact, some kind of Internet-based service. But I haven’t been able to track it down.

First, it’s most definitely not Ron Michaelson, who did the long series of di-tech loan commercials.

This guy isn’t quite so stout as Michaelson, but probably similar in age, and his hair seems to be somewhat thinner, and comes down in front similar to the way Richard Nixon’s did.

I didn’t get to see any credits on this video, so I don’t know this actor’s name, and I can’t remember exactly what commercial I saw to try to compare.

Anyone???
