How Do You Find Names of Actors in TV Commercials?

Whether you’re a talent scout for a commercial production company or just a curious TV viewer, you might’ve wondered about the actors who bring some of TV’s most recognizable characters to life. And we’re not talking about sitcom stars — we’re talking about the folks who try and sell you on car insurance and cell service providers. So, how do you find the names of actors in TV’s biggest commercials? We’ve got a few suggestions.

Top Resources for Identifying Actors in TV Commercials

The short answer? Like most other things these days, you can pretty easily find the names of actors in TV commercials through a simple online search. In particular, there are several websites and online resources that specialize in this kind of search. 

Here are some of our top recommendations: 

• iSpot.TV: This company is a TV advertising measurement firm, but it’s still a helpful resource, namely because you can search and browse on their database of commercials. Once you find the particular ad you have in mind, click on it to see what kind of credits are listed. Keep in mind, not every ad lists names for actors, but you can discover the title of the commercial as well as the name of the advertising agency that produced it — all of which will help you in your search attempts.
• AdsoftheWorld.com: Ads of the World is a site that has one big advantage: You can search for particular ads by country, industries and medium used, as in film, audio, digital and print. Simply search away and the site’s database will help you find an actor in any given TV spot. 
• IMDb: The Internet Movie Database is more than just a way to look up that actor you kind of recognize in your latest Netflix marathon. In addition to cataloguing actors’ film and TV credits, IMDb also displays credits actors have in ads, short films and more. While commercials may not be the primary focus here, this resource can still come in handy in a pinch.
• Social Media: Unsurprisingly, social media is another great tool. Not only can you ask friends and acquaintances in your network, you can also search relevant keywords for ads or brands to see if anyone else on Twitter or Facebook is talking about the ad and the actor who stars in it. Additionally, many actors promote their work with social media, which means you might just stumble upon their profile, especially if they’re well-known for playing a commercial character. 

Some of the Most Commonly Searched TV Commercial Actors

While some brands rely on animated geckos or cheese-loving cheetahs, others put stock in actors’ charms. Without a doubt, there are some actors who’ve become instantly recognizable as a result of appearing in a long-running TV ad campaign. 

Here are some of the most commonly searched TV actors: 

• Paul Marcarelli: You’ll likely recognize this glasses-wearing actor from Verizon Wireless’ 13-year TV advertising campaign “Can You Hear Me Now?” In 2016, Marcarelli shocked the industry when he jumped to competitor Sprint, becoming the longtime star of their commercials.
• Stephanie Courtney: This actor plays the infamous Flo in Progressive Insurance commercials. Courtney first appeared as the character in early 2008, and, in the decade since, revenues for the insurance giant grew from $13 billion in 2008 to a whopping $36 billion in 2019. 
• Jonathan Goldsmith: This actor was the face of “The Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign for Dos Equis from 2007 to 2015. He was replaced in 2016 by a French actor, and in 2018, Dos Equis shut down that particular campaign altogether. Interesting…

Inspirational Travel stories: Sharon Thompson

When Sharon Thompson was looking for Travel Insurance to cover her needs, she discovered AllClear and never looked back.

“I have been insured with AllClear ever since I have been travelling. AllClear covers my pre-existing medical conditions , the policies are affordable and you can guarantee that you will get absolutely the right cover. This all gives me peace of mind when I travel.

“With AllClear, you can choose to have an excess or not; you can pay £50, or you can get the zero excess plan as well; honestly, it’s just as good. One of the reasons we insure with AllClear is because it is so easy to get cover for cruises , and it’s a type of holiday they really understand. You just enter all the countries online, and away you go. So simple.

“I do worry that if something happened to me when I was abroad—and I didn’t have the right insurance—I could lose my house trying to get home. I know with AllClear that I have the right insurance, that I’m covered, and that it’s written down in ink. It’s so worthwhile paying for the right insurance to have that piece of mind to just know you are covered—you never know what could happen when you go away, and with AllClear, I have that peace of mind wherever I go.”

“I like to have a hard copy of my Travel Insurance documents, so when I forgot to tick the box online last time, I was straight on the phone, and the customer service lady was so helpful. She sent out all the documents within two days.

“Unlike most insurers, AllClear actually offers cover to people who are on the waiting list for an operation. It is such a great peace of mind to know that AllClear offers this type of service, should I ever need it.

“I think with the rising cost of living, people might start cutting corners to try and save a bit of money, but with Travel Insurance this should never be done. The last thing you want when you are abroad is for something to happen and your insurance to be null and void. Of course, it’s particularly important if you have a pre-existing medical condition, but even if you don’t, it’s so important to get the right and adequate cover. People just shouldn’t cut corners.

“You have to really write down everything that you are suffering with; physically, you have to let the company know exactly what is going on. It doesn’t always mean your premium will go up; it just means that you are putting yourself in a better position to be looked after if anything were to happen abroad. Be honest from the start; keep it simple.

“The most important three things for me to look for with Travel Insurance are:

• one, covering my pre-existing health condition.
• two, reasonably priced policies.
• and finally, ease of access in that the website is user-friendly and efficient so you can easily fill in all the criteria that you need to.

AllClear gets it right on all these counts.”

AllClear is a reliable company that is customer-focused, and I find them really convenient. I’ve actually seen travel insurers charging far more than AllClear with fewer benefits than AllClear offers. AllClear are specialists at what they do, so for me, it’s a no-brainer. You get what you pay for when it comes to Travel insurance, and for me, it’s all about trust and quality. That’s why I say with AllClear every time.”
