Denny's 'INSPIRATION' commercial

Back in July, Denny's asked TheOneRing.net to help them find some Tolkien fans to appear in a commercial. Now, as they are about to launch their 'Hobbit' tie-in menu on November 6th, here's the commercial they made; with genuine geeks. :) You may see someone you know!

I'm the "nerd" Gandalf on the right. I read the books back in 1976 and they really inspired me as an artist. I periodically since then draw, paint sculpt and act out the world of Middle Earth. Thank you Professor Tolkien for your work and thank you Denny's for allowing me to be in my first TV commercial.

Philosophical work, but it was a little stale. Not exactly movie material. The movies were fun, and despite what anyone says their is absolutely still deeper meaning within the movie.
