Note: here be video links with sound. The “[Little Bit of Luck](http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/2008/02/little-bit-o-lu.html)” guy in the lottery commercials, and the guy who demonstrates [Resolve](http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100775&id=prod4234) Stain Remover in recent commercials which aren’t nearly interesting enough to find online. I swear it is the same guy. My boyfriend doesn’t buy it. Now every time the Resolve commercial comes on I must resist the urge to run into the streets, tear my clothes and scream skyward “Can’t you see?! It’s _him_, by God it’s HIIIIMMM!” Honestly I don’t know why I care so much, but I’m desperate for someone else to see it too. Maybe it is because I know a few commerical actors and I have gotten into the habit of recognizing them in a bunch of different ads (the "[Mr. Barky von Schnauzer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cgiuf33X1Q) " guy? I knew him in high school!). ---
