Jim Caviezel was the actor who played Jesus in Passion of the Christ.
Kurt Warner was the guy against the brick wall, who led the St. Louis Rams to 2 Super Bowls, so I guess you'd have to be a football fan. I suspect they threw the ad together at the last minute, hence the low-budget filming.
Suppan is pitching for the Cardinals tonight in the World Series.
Patricia Heaton was the co-star in one of the top-rated comedies for several years (Everyone Loves Raymond).
Mike Sweeney is the First Baseman and Designated Hitter for my beloved Royals, and gets hurt easy. But I really appreciate him doing the ad.
If you're not into sports or TV, you may not recognize them. I think a lot of Missourians will though.
Well hold on there! I AM a football fan. Of FOOTBALL. Not the Starbucks Commodity of the NFL. I like watching college kids play that are having fun and still have the cartilage and skulls to survive the game, not doing it because they get millions of dollars and are pumped up on pain killers. I was a "series hugh" Cowboy fan growing up when I thought that the teams had something to do with the pride of their locale. The "Tennessee Oiler" sham, etc just made it kinda redundant and fast-food. Super-size, super-bowl, whatever. USC v. Texas in the Rosebowl last year---THAT was a football championship.
And baseball is just slightly less boring than soccer, I'm just not a fan of 9 or 15 innings and my arm is tired so someone wins! Yay!
And no, I don't love Raymond!
Anyway, I apologize for the diatribe on professional-sports and sitcoms, but to the extent that this ad is directed at people who take their political direction from QBs and sitcom actresses, maybe this is good! I wish it luck.
