Have you seen this Wendy's commercial? A group of guys is hanging around, eating chicken strips. One guy -- the "dip caddy" -- advises another guy on his sauce choice, saying "you're dipping into the wind."
→[More:]My boyfriend's in the ad (he's the caddy!), and we're curious to know if it's gone national or is just being shown regionally. My parents have seen it a million times in Santa Fe, but we've never seen it here in L.A.
His agents can't help, and SAG is useless -- one of the contract givebacks to advertisers a few years ago (thanks to President Melissa "Half-Pint" Gilbert!) was that the Guild would stop monitoring so closely when, where, and how long commercials are played, which makes a huge difference in how residuals are paid to actors. I'm sure Catherine Zeta-Jones couldn't care less, but for reg'lar actin' folks, it's a real problem. ANYhoo, if you've seen it, we'd be grateful to hear about it.
Yes, this is something you'd have to have a TV (and live in the US) to know about. ;)
