Anybody else spot Josh Pais in the commercial?
 
I was surprised to see Josh Pais (Raph's actor and voice actor in the first movie) in a commercial the other day. It's an ad for Edward Jones Investments and he plays the guy at the art auction who says, "Okay, I'd like to go ahead and sell it now. That thing I just bought." Anybody seen it? It came as a bit of a surprise because he's such an obscure actor and I happen to have a huge crush on him right now, renting all of his movies and stuff, and then I glance at the tv and there he is! :D

Wha?! That's Josh Pais?! I thought I recognized his voice but that ad has been out for months! :o

Despina83 07-25-2006 12:32 AM

Ha, really? I didn't know it's been out that long. I don't remember having seen it before. Well, obviously I must have, but just never paid any attention to it.

I remember seeing this commercial several times, but I never realised it was Josh Pais...I'd really like to see it again, but it's probably too late now. :(

Have you seen 7th Street yet? That is the ultimate Pais fan film to see...lots about him...his kiddo, Zane looks JUST like him...

It's still playing, so you should still be able to see it. It seems like it's on more on CNBC and news channels like that. But if you see an Edward Jones comemrcial, it might be a different one they play with a guy proposing to a girl online.

Yeah, I've been wanting to see that. I'm took a wild guess and figured that was his kid in the background on his website :) . He's adorable. Do you know what year he was born? I'm 99% sure that I saw Zane as an extra in Little Manhatten with his dad.

Sprint commercial on YouTube
 
Jeez, I just now noticed that was him in the Sprint commercial that's been on only FOREVER where the two guys are comparing phones in the locker room. It's pretty funny. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4O4f...l%20commercial.

OMG I seen that ad but I never paid attn to it much. Jeezis..

I can see Raph doing that too...hell you can see how short he is, he's 5.5.

Despina83 08-15-2006 10:30 PM

Yeah, I was thinking that looked like something Raph would do! That ad's been on for so long, I should have at least recognized his voice, for God's sake!

Nah, he's 5'7". The site that listed him as 5'5" is screwed up. One of my favorite actors is 5'6", and Josh is definetely taller than he is. The other guy in the ad is just really tall.

If he's 5.7 technically too tall to play Raphers...he's supposed to be 5.5!
I'm 5.7...scary.

I pictured for a moment Raph throwing the phone...it was so natural then when he picks it up again and he does it again, it was just SO damn funny! I like his voice, it's so different...it's not a gravelly rough & tough voice but it fits because it's got attitude.

I'm so tempted to email him some Q&A's but I dunno if he would bother with a buncha crazy TMNT fans.
