I forgot to mention him, but there’s another guy besides Eric McCormack. ---

I need to find that commercial and re-see it. Or link it here if u have it. Steve Nash i think was in it too. 2 time MVP basketball, Phoenix Suns, NBA. [http://vibrantvictoria.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=4306](http://vibrantvictoria.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=4306) yup i think you’re thinking Steve Nash. ---

Since the original question was answered, does it look like some of the backgrounds are green screened to anybody else? Or is it just the product of a really good Hi Def picture? The only person in the commercial that looks like he is actually there is Michael J Fox. ---

The only person in the commercial that looks like he is actually there is Michael J Fox. Oh yeah, I don’t think anyone’s outdoors in that ad. Next question:why is Ryan Reynolds dressed like my grandpa?
