I saw one of his investment commercials yesterday, and as much as I’m glad to see our favorite ex-“Law and Order” curmudgeon on TV again … ack! He looks like he’s on the brink of death! He’s wedged into his chair, as if getting up is no longer within his physical abilities.
This commercial does not make me want to check out the Web site he’s pitching. It makes me want to call a fucking doctor!
I’m with you Snooooopy, he looks to be at death’s door. But god he was handsome in the original Mission Impossible series.
It’s the “Paper Chase” selling tactic- get a crusty-but-loveable old guy from a much-loved TV show and use him to sell your product. It’s almost as bad as that old “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV!”
It’s eerie, I expect to see Sam Waterson walk in the door. It was then I realized that Law & Order is to me what Matlock is to Grandpa Simpson.
We only like Maaaaatlock!
