    Wow, I wonder if the people who created the Old Spice Man were thinking of that Billy Dee Williams ad.

      Hey, could well be!

      Bummed BDW isn’t going to be in the new Star Wars.

        Great minds, LOL. OSM would be good in the new Star Wars too:). Probably better acting than any of the current cast, lol.

          These days, OSM looks more like Lando Calrissian than BDW does. He has a lot of experience with special effects, too! 🙂

            Since Lucas sold over to Disney….perhaps there will be constant, endless singing lol…I think OSM would be good in musicals:).

        Did you see BDW on Dancing with the Stars? The man is retirement age, leave him be.

        And those ads are hilarious. I don’t remember them at all, but I was a teenager then, so wasn’t watching much tv.

          Wow, he’s 77, actually. I won’t be around to see how OSM looks at that age!
