All the actors are terrific!</strong><a name="instantcast_cutoff"><span id="more-22426"></span></a><br />
 <br />
<strong>The film also reunited the amazing cult classic sketch TV show <em>The State.</em></strong> Their improv scenes were some of the funniest in the movie. <strong>Both<em> State</em> cast members Dan Wain and Ken Marino wrote the film.</strong> All of these guys are friends and have worked together for years so they’re super comfortable together on camera: I think that&#8217;s what brought upon their spot on performance. <strong>I give this film two thumbs up! Go see it you won’t be sorry!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://blog.instantcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pepsi.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22346" title="pepsi" src="http://blog.instantcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pepsi.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="120" /></a>After watching some celebrity saturated commercials last night during the Super Bowl I got to thinking that celebrities have a big acting responsibility in commercials.</strong> They need to be really believable as actors and not just as a celebrity face to connect with the products they represent. They cannot fake it. <strong>Just look at Elton John and Melanie Amaro in the Pepsi commercial last night, or Jerry Seinfeld in the Acura commercial: they both did a great job acting and were focusing on convincing their audiences to connect with the brand.</strong><a name="instantcast_cutoff"><span id="more-22345"></span></a></p>
<p>If you want to be a commercial actor and work for a brand make sure people believe what you are modeling, acting, and saying about the product.  <strong>Learn all you can about it and be sure to do research on it before you even go on the audition so you can be convincing!</strong></p>

Noah Wylie played Steve Jobs in &#8220;Pirates of Silicon Valley.&#8221; He was pretty good, but <strong>we&#8217;re ready for a fresh face..maybe a new, undiscovered talent? <em>Who would you like to see play Steve Jobs?</em> Share your thoughts with us by leaving a comment on this blog.</strong><a name="instantcast_cutoff"></a></p>
