A few weeks ago I got a call at 6 AM from a fellow Body on Fire model. He wanted to know if I was interested in skipping work to appear in a Japanese beer commercial.
Instead of spending the day in front of the computer sending emails and setting meetings, I spent about 8 hours dressed like a Caribbean bank security guard. I was paid $200 for my troubles and only my nose appears in the commercial.
This is the fifth commercial in a series. In the series, the actor dressed as a Japanese/Dutch prince of sorts is traveling the world looking for all the foods that pair well with Sapporo Draft One. He runs into a group of Japanese ex-pats having a BBQ in Kannat Tabla and by the end of the commercial he determines that yakisoba and Draft One are good together.
The name of the Japanese actor in the commercial is Hiroshi Abe. He's famous in Japan or something.
The gaijin in the commercial is an actor named John. He went to Japan as an English teacher, which led to acting in local theater, which led to some paid gigs.
He was really funny. Here he is posing with us in our costumes:
