Commercial Characthers (actors, characters, channels, famous)

[LexWest]

Which characters do you not mind interrupting your favorite programs during commercial breaks? I'm growing fond of the "Maytag Man," though "Mayhem" always has a great sense of humor.

I was primarily focused on actors portraying convincing characters—not mere spokesmen, nor actors that were already considerably famous before these commercials. These guys are either generally forgotten/unknown outside their current roles, or have had some exposure to TV, yet aren't considered super celebrities. I included "Other" in case I forgot someone (though you can vote for any spokesmen if you wish).
