We Have A Winner! It Was Michael Keaton
The answer to the question I posed below...Who did the voiceover for the Golden Dollar commercial featured in yesterday's post on dollar coins?...was Michael Keaton. Alex Baldwin had agreed to do it but ended up not being able to do so and Keaton was recruited. Keaton was in a studio in LA while the ad agency directed him from the East Coast. He did several television and radio commercials at the same time. If I remember correctly, Bob Giraldi, who is best known for directing Michael Jackson's video "Beat It," directed this commercial for the Mint.
"Larry"...You were the first commenter with the correct answer so please send your full name and mailing address to stan@capitalgainsandgames.com and the dollar coin will be on its way.
Thank you all for playing.
I knew I heard that voice recently!
I recently saw the new Will Ferrell movie, "The Other Guys", where Michael Keaton was very, very good playing a police captain by day and working at Bed Bath and Beyond at night to make ends meet. So I knew that voice sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. Now it won't drive me crazy.
