You know, the milk commercials where there is a guy in a giant milk carton costume trying to get basketball players or senior citizens to drink milk. My brother insists that he is Pat Finn ( [http://us.imdb.com/Name?Finn,+Pat+(II)](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Finn,+Pat+(II)) ) the same guy that played Joe Mayo on an episode of Seinfeld. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Even better, can anyone point me to a copy of these commercials?

Thanks,  
Rob

[Bozell](http://www.bozell.com/home.html) created those ads. Maybe if you ask them nicely, they’ll tell you who is in the carton.

Google is my friend.

I can confirm only by telling you that, IMO, it’s him. Same voice, same face, gotta be him. Of course, by that logic, it’s really Barbra Streisand in that old porno…

IMO, its him. At least I so want it to be him.

Could you do me a favor and drink some milk? Thanks
