Or, "I've got a meeting with the Bobs"
Your local neighborhood mobile phone company announced the other day that it has hired actor Ron Livingston to be it's new spokesdude.
You might remember Livingston from such TV series Band of Brothers (one of my all time favorites) and Sex in The City (one of my all time least favorites).
But perhaps his most-remembered and beloved role was that of Peter Gibbons, the original cube drone. One can only imagine what scenarios Sprint Corp. will place this guy into. The press release says he would be featured "as a straightforward, relatable guy" in the new TV ads -- but you just know the YouTubers will have their own take on the subject.
Which is why I wanted to post this little chestnut in honor of Livingston's return to the corporate world.
