Crazy!....wonder why they would continue to play that commercial after his death...Haven't seen it much lately, but have definitely seen it a few times within the past 6 months. May be the same as they did with the Billy Mays dude (hercules hooks, OxiClean, etc). I know they played his commercials for a while after he passed. Family may have needed the money or there were legal contractual issues in the mix.... You’re right!

It's true the commercial is the last desperate grab at TV fame and income for so many stars. But I have to disagree with you on the Mr T one! It is just so entertaining and so good to see him back on TV... ina commercial or not!He did a great advert for Snickers, if you haven't seen it check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NySN_plfiNIMaybe if they are in a geniunely quality advert it's sort of ok. Pity 99% of commercials are rubbish though. Lol. It’s true the commercial is the last desperate grab at TV fame and income for so many stars. But I have to disagree with you on the Mr T one!

For example, several Engineers and Managers I grew up with and learned from now work at Wally-World and Lowes - it's sad really.Now one actor who has leveraged his TV personality into a money making "gold mine" is William (Bill) Shatner of Star Trek. Unlike the others who could be considered washed up, Bill Shatner has actually parlayed his hightly recognized face and personality into such popularity that he could just about sell anything on TV.

Although I thought the WoW commercial with Ozzy was kinda funny. I mean, who were they targeting by using him? Most kids don't know who he is and anyone that does that games probably already plays WoW. You forgot to add in the biggie, Sallie Struthers!!!
