20 Superstar Actors You Didn't Know Do Commercial Voiceovers
19. Jermaine Clement - DIRECTV
In defence to Jermaine Clement, his success has come from an arguably more difficult route than most of the people on this list. As part of the New Zealand folk comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, it always seemed unlikely that Clement would become a television superstar in the USA, and then a Hollywood actor with a variety of big films under his belt. Given then how extraordinary his international success has been given his humble beginnings, it makes sense that he would take the opportunity to keep working whenever he can. And at least unlike a lot of commercials his ads tend to be genuinely funny, and befitting of his character as one of the worlds foremost quirky comedians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_EJxDHSyP8 You might not have realized he was doing other commercials originally, but there is no mistaking that kiwi twang and deadpan delivery as soon as you hear him speak. It's pretty impressive that while he is doing a less than ideal job, he can still make the most of it, and make it laugh out loud funny.
