or something to that matter.

I know this isnt specifically about the olympics, but this commercial is being aired quite frequently during the olympics so I though I would as here.

In the commercial there is Michael J Fox, Kim Cattrel, Ryan Renyolds and 2 others (1 male and 1 female) - does anyone know who they are?

Steve Nash and Sarah Mclaughlin (sp?)

Biggles · 2010-02-27, 02:25 AM

Do any of them actually live in Canada ??

Some of it looks like green screen to me, so there's a chance they might not have even set foot in B.C. to record it!

dennism3 · 2010-02-27, 03:14 AM

Of course the background is not "live"

I'm pretty sure that Nash and McLachlan maintain residences in BC (though in Nash's case about 99% sure it's not his "home"). McLachlan's record company is based in Vancouver.

Incidentally, Nash was born in Johannesburg.

Steve Nash owns an eponymous sports pub in Richmond, B.C. and lives part of the year in the U.S. while playing his beloved game.

I believe that is Eric McCormack from Will and Grace fame.

dezzpayne · 2010-02-28, 05:42 PM

Imo it's a terrible commerical. Do it right or don't do it at all. Greenscreen for this was laughable.

stampeder · 2010-03-01, 08:47 PM

Actually its funny you point that out because our tv production industry has made Vancouver the green screen capital of the world!

PPL4GOLF · 2010-03-04, 04:35 PM

This commercial was aired on WGRZ-HD (OTA) also.
