Here is a new campaign by Dos Equis where their “most interesting man” gives advice on various subjects. With all of them being only 15 second spots, I think they were pretty cleverly written if you ask me.
My favorite is “Packages“:
Fellows, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pocket, you better use them to call the tailor.
In addition to the two displayed above (The Most Interesting Man & Packages), there are two more commercials in this series -
Created by Euro RSCG/New York with Jeff Kling as Creative Director. Steve Miller directed the spots with @radical media as the production company (Outside Editorial did the post work).
All of these spots are tied-in at the end with our interesting gentleman telling us to “stay thirsty my friends” which is also the web address for their campaign micro-site - www.staythirstymyfriends.com. There you can test your skill in patience and strength (by arm wrestling Mao, Churchill, Stalin, or even our most interesting man), apply to become the most interesting man in the world’s personal assistant and view various photos with our host performing assorted “manly” feats. Pretty funny site to match the spots, kudos.
Update: After a lot of emails regarding this campaign and the talent used, it has been confirmed that the actor who plays “The Most Interesting Man In The World” is indeed Jonathan Goldsmith. This was received via email from production sources. Also, as brentter.com readers “sam” and “Bart” have both pointed out, it is listed as being credited to him on his imdb.com profile.

It is an original piece composed by Brett Fuchs from Berwyn Audio(NYC)…the same guy who helped put the music together for BlueFly’s ‘The Catch’

Does anyone know the name of the actor? My friend thinks it’s Andrew Divoff, but I don’t think so. I’m hoping someone can settle the argument.

Not sure who plays the part, but it strikes me that the character is supposed to be a composite of Hemmingway and Castro.

While I was smitten with this spot upon viewing it …I think the 15 sec segments do not live up to the inital spot. I have not heard the radio but on reading Niraj commetns It seems likely that the radio is more in line witht the :30 spot. As a woman I found the lead exciting and yes!, if there were the most intersting man he’s it. He has that James Bond sexy thang going on.

The actor is Franco Nero, who played the villain General Esperanza in Die Hard II. He’s a character actor from Italy who made spaghetti westerns back in the day. Look him up on IMDB.

the most intersting man in the world put out the word he was throwing a party and only his equals were invited. The only person who showed up was Chuck Norris.

I was wondering where they got the footage of TMIMITW when he was younger. I see on IMDB that Jonathan Goldsmith has been acting since the 70’s, so it makes sense.
The other two actors mentioned above are incorrect. I’ve seen pics of them all. TMIMITW is Goldsmith.

He once stepped outside one saturday morning and said aloud “It’s too hot out here.” Within the hour, a total eclipse appeared.
He does not need an alarm clock. Four bluebirds appear at his window every morning to wake him…no matter where he is staying.
He gambled once. He was in Japan on a business trip and decided to put money down on Buster Douglas to KO his opponent in 10 rounds.
He decided to drive some friends one morning to work in Atlanta. That morning there were no traffic jams or accidents.

He once had gas. It was immediately replicated, bottled and was sold for millions. He gave all proceeds to Al Gore. In return, Al promised to go away for ever…
