The actor in this commercial looks familiar. Anyone know who he is or what else he has been in?
I thought the same thing and after much research I still can’t promise how accurate my answer is, but the man looks like Jack Angeles, better known as Mr. Tuttle (the heavy teacher who seemed to teach every subject) from Saved By the Bell. He also made a cameo appearance in Growing Pains as a clown.
A commercial that really is priceless.
I thought this was the nicest commercial I have even seen, I so love elephants and their gentleness.. this actually bought tears to me eyes and the eyes of my family.. I hope I see this lots…. wonderful simply wonderful..
Loved it! Mastercard you have a hit on your hands! best commercial 2007…
LOVED this ad !!
sweet.
The actor is Ernie Sabella.
Isn’t the opening filmed at the old LA Zoo in Griffith Park? I haven’t been able to get up there since the fire. Anyone know if it was damaged? It’s a trip to see the old enclosures (cages).
