    Isn't it a bit daft to employ an actor who is already in several other major ad campaigns running concurrently? See attached :rolleyes:

    I was just thinking the same thing about that actor the other day. Are there no other unemployed actors in this country looking for work:confused:

    This reminds me of the time I turn on the TV and this detective guy is killing punks in the 1970's. I switch channels and the same boy is killing black hats in the 1880's Wild West . Hardly believable unless he aged very very well.

    In college they tell you when it comes to advertising do not overextend yourself into endorsing lots and lots of products. It seems Craig Doyle throws that advertising rule out the window.... but I think it should apply for advert actors as well. There was another actor did something similar a couple of years ago being associated with several national campaigns at the same time - I just feel the advert's effectiveness is totally compromised by the same face being associated with different products.... that's my 2 cents, and yes it is a slow Sunday, and yes I need a date asap ;-)

    Maybe it's because all men with face fur look the same.

    Yeah I know him and to top it all off he is a brutal actor.

    My BF and I noticed.

    It's not strictly correct to say they're at the same, OP. One was a Christmas campaign.

    But, yeah, it's overkill.

    I remember watching Channel 4 one time in the late 90s and James Nesbit was in three ads (all for different products).

    Well advertisements do get my goat at times and the way they think the general public won't notice or care.... coz the general public just consume without critical thinking afterall:)
