Well, up until a few years ago (like three) there were no solid jobs for middle aged commercial actors. By commercial, I mean the annoying clip between the segments of your favorite show that are used to sell or make you aware of new crap to buy. But then, something magic happened. Cholesterol lowering drugs. Then, libido increasing drugs. Then, a bunch of other shit designed to help old dudes get divorced and start looking for love at Hooters. We ALL know the trademark names of these concoctions, but I'm afraid to say them here for fear of being sued. I still said "Hooters" though. Being sued by Hooters would be pretty funny. Anyway, these commercials are all the same. First scene- Old guy with grey hair/beard sits with his hands on his face and talks about how shocked he was to hear that he was old, and his heart/joints/knees/balls were no longer up to par. He is ALWAYS filmed in black and white. Then, the color film kicks in, and he is suddenly on a mountain bike. He is in the middle of God damned nowhere, on a bike. Or, a canoe, or, if it is a sex drive pill, a motorcycle. He has some woman that is his age or close, that he is shown to be planning on wearing out whenever they get where they are going on those bikes. Later, he will be shown by him self again, on the bike or motorcycle. This is to show that he can prowl from woman to woman. There are so many of these type pharmaceutical commercials out now, that old dudes everywhere are lining up to get to "star" in one. In a few years, I will get myself a mountain bike and try out for "my junk works like new" guy in an old dude drug commercial. P.S. That is not me in the picture above.
