On commercials all day with the woman and black eyed dog. Hasnt been on in a while instead seeing another woman in his place.
Me and my wife have a lot of theories but I told her I'm sure the folks on the orlando forum know whats up.

I looked it up. His name is Tom Park. I always assumed he was the owner, but that is someone else. Tom Park apparently lives in Texas and does ads for car dealerships all around the country. I always thought he was a local guy.

Is this the Jimmy Bryan dealership?

Does anyone remember a "Michelle" who was in car commercials in Orlando about 20 years ago? OMG, they were annoying, LOL!

The missing guy on a car dealership commercial aka the pressing concerns of Orlando's cultural environment!

^^^And down here they’re always telling us Palm Beach county is the “cultural capital “ of the state. Hmmm.

Interesting find. I wonder why he was dropped. Who is the woman that was always with him and who is the new girl, are they also professional commercialpeople or are they part of the company?

No Toyota of Orlando or Toyota of Clermont.

Yes I’m absolutely devastated.
Recently the Lexus lady disappeared too. Her voice remains but instead they’re showing a generic looking car driving commercial instead of her in the showroom.

I saw him on a commercial this morning. Maybe they are just switching things up.

Tom does commercials for dealers all over the country. I too have noticed he hasn't been in the commercials lately. The last one I saw was a few months ago and he didn't look good. I mentioned it to my wife at the time. Hope I'm wrong and his absence isn't health related.


I've recently spent a lot of time going back and forth to the Charlotte area and his latest ads there feature Angie Stevens and Jessica Reyes. The spots show palm trees in the background, not sure if the Charlotte dealership imported the trees or if the shoots were done at another location all together (maybe Orlando?).


Once heard that Tom does most of his commercials in one-take. Interesting guy and he has done remarkably well for himself. Just hope everything is ok.

Cool did not know he was a common face all around the country.
In my humble and meaningless opinion It's just a bit bizzare to me that companies use these professional speakers as their spokespeople.
Once again I am seeing him on more frequently. As you mentioned above, he does have a bit of a ghastly appearance...

Jimmy Bryan sold his Toyota and Honda stores years ago. He still owns the two Orlando Lexus stores. The spokeswoman, Holly Watson, is from Nashville and the daughter of 80s country star Margo Smith. I used to shoot all those commercials in the late ‘90s.
Tom Park may be on medical leave, but that’s just a guess. I’d heard he had some health issues.
