I Want an IMDB for Commercials

How many times have you been watching something on TV and couldn’t rest until you figured out who that familiar actor or actress was?

If you’re watching a TV show or a movie, no problem. Just go to the IMDB and look it up.

But, if it’s a commercial, you’re pretty much out of luck. Perhaps you can get lucky doing a Google search, but that rarely works for me. We need a database we can search for actors in recent commercials. I know it would be a challenge to pull together, but I’m sure the collective wisdom of the Interneterati can do it.

Until that glorious day, I need to know who the dumb husband is on the Yoplait commercial where the wife is telling her friend about all of the awesome yogurt flavors she has been eating to lose weight. It’s driving me crazy.
