Domino’s is definitely not the job to go to for respect, hell there’s been news reports of delivery guys getting mugged at gunpoint for their pizzas, at least that’s how they roll in Detroit. And why did they model the building in the commercial after The Crystal Palace? If an employee needs to take a leak, do they tell everyone else to cover their eyes for five minutes?

I’m working on an 80’s tribute show called “Spand-X”. Do you have these commercials or any 80’s video production material on DVD or any Digital tape format? I would enjoy adding some of it to my show.

Regarding the comments on the Jordache commercial…I suppose I should consider myself lucky that I didn’t have any lines in that particular one. Otherwise I would have been honored with a closeup and comment.
I’m the guy on the stairs in the back with the sweater on. Not even sure my Mom could have recognized me in this one. One of my first jobs in Hollywood after spending years in the theatre, where I returned to after a decade in LA.
You may not have liked her, but the lead girl did go on to have the best career of us all (Cheryl Pollack, if I remember correctly, of Melrose Place at some point). She was a nice girl.
Funny you mentioned Breakfast Club, because the auditions used that very script. There was no ad copy. Good catch. And for the record, we were all playing teens, but unbeknownst to the producers I was the only one who wasn’t a teenager. Jack might have been 20. In fact, I was at least 6 years older than all of them.
I had pretty much forgotten these things, until someone showed me one of them on YouTube. Amazing. Nothing disappears forever any more. If you want to see what else I was doing at the time, type Terminal Exposure into YouTube. I’m Lenny in that old 80s chestnut.
I did enjoy what I read, by the way.
