'Undertakers' -- a Sky TV commercial that never flighted (not the wrestler)

[No wrestling in this vid. It has NOTHING to do with THE UNDERTAKER.] This is one of the commercials I appeared in. It was never flighted for some reason. I think it had something to do with upsetting the sensibilities of British tv watchers.

The production company on this one screwed me out of my appearance fee, and my agent at the time went along with them. Which is one of the reasons I fired her. (Even though the ad didn't flight, they were contractually bound to inform my agent of that fact within three months of the end of the shoot. I only found out what was going on around five months after the end of it, and my agent did nothing.

But hey. I got to walk next to an elephant and have real fun in a graveyard. (Yes. The graveyard, hearse, and coffin are all real. So is the elephant. It was a normal elephant colour though. They changed it to green in post-production.)

"Yes. The graveyard, hears, and coffin are all real."

What is a hear?

[royblumenthal]

Ah... A 'hearse' is the car that transports a coffin. Pronounced 'herce' (same sound as 'burst').

To everyone who's come to this vid cos of YouTube clustering it with wrestling vids, I apologise.

I assumed -- wrongly!!!! -- that people were getting to this commercial knowing it was just a funny commercial.

The REAL thickness is YouTube for clustering it with UNDERTAKER (the wrestler) vids, just cos it's got the same name.

Now I understand where the 'confusion' comes from, I retract all of my 'dumbfuck' comments.

I'm sorry. (I'm the short undertaker, the one without the bug-eyes.)
