Is the guy who was on tonight’s Trading Spaces the same curious guy who sticks his head through the hole in the wall in the Vanilla Coke commercial?

LOL! I saw that and it DOES look like him, now that you mention it. Don’t know if it really is or not, though.

If you’re talking about the first episode with Gen’s “Aqua Fiesta” room and Doug’s red & white room, his name is Chris Wylde.

[http://us.imdb.com/Name?Wylde,+Chris](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Wylde,+Chris)

He’s been in a few other things and currently hosts the gameshow “Taboo.”

I haven’t seen the Vanilla Coke commercial you speak of so I can’t say if it’s him or not.

I believe he was the DiGiorno delivery guy, too.

He was also in Coyote Ugly.
