Blowin' It Up, KA-POW!

Cauc. Male Hero, Joel Hermann, 32-38, Everyman, Real with character, Maybe a bit Midwestern, a bit vanilla, all shapes and sizes. He is oblivious to what is cool, and what is not. It's like he's from another planet...Really Great Comedic timing.

Once in a while, a gig comes along you are perfect for.

Last October, this was the gig.

The spot is for Charter Communications and they're currently airing it throughout their network. If you are a Charter subscriber, you might catch it on CNN or HGTV or one of the other standard cable channels.

If not, you can catch the clip here on the agency's website. Note that you have to click over to the second spot. I am not in the Birthday Clown or Mascot spots, although they are likewise hilarious.

In the meantime, here's a taste of the magic:

(If you think that's the most memorable image from that spot, you are wrong.)

I wish I was just being a lame brown-noser, but it really was a terrific gig. The directors and producers were great and working with an ad agency from Minneapolis was an extra bonus.
