this ad is John Ottway. Julian Chagrin was in the R Whites Commercial (ran for 17 years!) that had him wearing glasses. w w w.youtube.com/watch?v=z0d68eMk4NM&NR=1 . Was also in one Whites ad not shown often called "The Pop Star"... it had Costello playing in the band behind him. ad written by Rod Allen (of Allen Brady and Marsh) and Ross McManus and son (Elvis Costello) arranged and performed the song.
I'd give him headbutts.

Many many years ago - I think around 1985 or 86

Are these commercials you just posted current ones, or were they done some years back? You look like you're about 25.
