The Best Use of a Clown in a Bankruptcy Commercial Award Goes to...

I was reminded of this fine commercial by Bubs over at the Sprawling Ramshackle Compound.

I'm proud to say that my friend and colleague Kate plays the frightened woman in this spot. She told me that the guy who played the clown came to the shoot directly after playing Othello at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre. I didn't learn any fun facts about Erik Martin.

EDIT: He was playing Othello, but not at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre...my mistake

Johnny Yen is into clowns.

I have it on good authority.
