This is bugging me......

  Hi all,

  Lately (like for the last month or more.....) there has  been a video to view for credits.  I must have seen it a hundred times now.......

  Maybe it's only one of those regional type of videos that people don't get to watch elsewhere (I've notices that people talk about videos that I have no idea what they're talking about).

  It's the Heineken commercial where the drummer gets the tickets to a soccer game at Wimbledon and it shows his trials and tribulations to get to the game.  I've seen an abridged version of it on TV.  Pretty entertaining and I don't mind watching it over and over.

  What's bugging me is:  is that guy supposed to be someone I know?  Someone famous?  Or just an actor who found a good gig? 

  I haven't a clue; maybe I'm missing out on some kind of inside joke.

  Anybody know who he is?

  I think he's just an actor.

  It's not Wimbledon, it's Wembley (our national stadium). Makes me laugh that he's drinking beer while sat in the stadium. Here in Britain we're not allowed to drink alcohol anywhere at a football (soccer) match.

  It appears he's 'just an actor who found a good gig'. Can't find his name listed anywhere.

  FYI - His destination is Wembley Stadium, the venue for this years Champions League final, not Wimbledon, where they mostly play tennis.

  Right, Wembley, NOT Wimbledon.  Sorry.

  (I'm the guy who refers to the Air Canada Center as Maple Leaf Gardens........)

  Dominic Greensmith, eh?   I wondered if he was either a musician or some soccer player of note......

  LOL.  

  Yup, street level of MLG is a Loblaws.  Isn't Dave Nichol still the President there?
