Celebrity voice-overs in commercials

[KannD86]

Somebody at another message board was able to confirm for me that Martin Mull is the voice on the Ziploc commercials. I'm so glad to finally know.

I've been hearing Patrick Dempsey on another commercial, but I didn't bother to take note of which one.

I love that this thread is still alive. B)

Hi! I'm so glad this forum exists: as someone posted above, I'm obsessed with the topic to the point that I am actually listening to commercials!

Here are a few voiceovers I've spotted recently:

John Corbett for Applebees
Campbell Scott for Chevron
Marlo Thomas for Liberty Mutual

Does anyone know who voices Nissan? I know this voice and it's maddening.

Patrick Dempsey now voices for State Farm Insurance.

He also voices for Mazda, he drives for them in European auto racing.

Another one, courtesy of GreenBay Madman, is Ann Curry voicing the Food Network.

Someone posted that James Spader is the voice in Ford ads but I'm sure he's doing voiceover work for Acura. This is confirmed at IMDB. Working for Ford as well would be a conflict right? :huh:

Here's one I need you guys' help with. It's commercial for T-Mobile. They're at a wedding. One girl says to the other "do you know who's on your boyfriend's 5" and the girl says no, the other one says "well there's an old cougar chatting him up over there". She says that's his mother and the other one says "oh... she's affectionate." Both girls look familiar, but I'm sure the redhead is from something else. She looks like a cross between Merideth Monroe and Alicia Witt. The way she delivers the last line makes me think I've seen her in a comedy. Anyone recognize her?

I know this response is way late to the question (and you might've already found it elsewhere) -- but the redhead who was in that T-Mobile commercial is Felicia Day.

Also, to answer another older one

The guy "in the middle" on the Wendy's commercial is someone. I'm determined to figure it out.

That'd be Tom Lenk.

And, while I'm mentioning Buffy alum -- I would swear I've heard Sarah Michelle Gellar's voice on commercials for Quaker Snack Bars, but I'm not 100% positive.

J. P. Manoux (Crenshaw on ER) is the grape in the Fruit of the Loom commercials.

 

[elishane]

Add'l...
Donald Sutherland - Volvo
Tom Selleck - Florida Orange Juice
Patrick Dempsey - Mazda
Stanley Tucci - AT & T Wireless
Gene Hackman - Lowe's / Franklin Templeton Investments
Richard Thomas - Mercedes-Benz

 

[elishane]

actually, I meant to say
Oppenheimer Investments that Gene Hackman is doing.

Liev Schreiber does voice overs for Infiniti. I recognized him after watching Secrets of the Dead. Also, Maurice LaMarche (voice of Brain from Pinky and the Brain) does American Airlines and his co-star on Futurama Billy West does the Honey Nut Cherrios Bee.

 

[sdnil427]

salma hayek for the pamper's commercials

 

[fgsweetdog]

Does anyone know the name of the woman who does the mini 1-min. commercials; i.e., quick recipes, helpful hints, etc. for HGTV and Food Network. She also does promos for Animal Planet.
