He did classic Wendy’s commercials, like the one below.

And I think he currently does the voiceovers for Boar’s Head brand deli meat (I think it’s him that I heard on the radio).

Its funny, I recently TiVo’ed an episode of the old Green Hornet TV show and this guy was an actor in the episode! He just played some crime boss’ lackey so I couldn’t find his name in the credits. First and only time I’ve seen him acting instead of just doing voiceover.

Also surprised because he looked to be almost 40 in the show, which was filmed in the mid-sixties, so he must be pretty old!

Not having much luck tracking down this guy’s name. Which is weird cause he’s done a lot of VO work and has a really distinctive voice.

[Joe Sirola](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0802903/) was the voice of Wendy’s throughout the '90s. He has extensive screen acting credits as well.

Man, I always hated that voice. It sounds like he’s holding a bunch of spit next to his molars.
