Introducing AdActors.com
Inspired by the reaction that this post generated (I’m still getting, “Who’s the girl in that Motorola commercial?” comments two years later) I’ve started a new forum called AdActors.com.
I’m hoping this will be the place to go when you see that same guy in six different national commercials in one week and just have to know who he is and what else he’s been in. Clearly a blog comments section isn’t the place for this sort of dialogue, it just doesn’t allow for enough back-and-forth, user-to-user contact, so I needed to build something else. I realized that the wonderful forums at AdTunes answer very similar questions (”What’s that song they’re playing on Lost?”) very effectively. When I started thinking about ways to make a website dedicated to spreading info on ad actors, it was obvious who I should copy. An AdTunes-style bulletin board was the answer.
Go on over, log in, and check it out. I’m using Six Apart’s TypeKey for registration and authentication (thanks to Arvind Satyanarayan), so you’ll have to get a TypeKey account, but the sign up process is trivial. Please let me know in the feedback forum or via email if you see any problems or have any suggestions.
