Jul 28 2010The Old Spice Guy in Movies Now
With those absurdist Old Spice ads having completed their lap around the internet, concluding with your dad posting "i m on a horse" on Facebook, it's time for some Hollywood Types to make their star, Isaiah Mustafa, a star outside of Old Spice commercials. According to Hollywood Reporter, two films and a TV series have already signed on to put the bodywash shill in front of the cameras this year, before the muckrakers down at Axe can find any dirt on him. Tyler Perry, always looking for another handsome black man to join him in questioning why he got married, has given Mustafa a role in For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf; in Horrible Bosses, the former football player will play a cop in a scene he promises is with "maybe Jennifer Aniston!"; and on NBC's Chuck, he'll be playing a CIA agent.
What happened to that girl from Survivor after she was shoehorned into that Rob Schneider movie, again?

You go man! Grab as much cash as they'll throw at you as fast as you can! Hollywood ran out of fresh ideas a long time ago. If they have to take guys from commercials or the internet now, big deal. At least it's not yet another Adam Sandler (or Seth Rogen, or Ben Stiller, or Will Farrel) vehicle.
What I WOULD pay to go see; a remake of the movie Carbon Copy, with Isaiah as the father and Justin Bieber as the son. Can you say "MoneyBomb" Hollywood?
PS, call me if you want to buy this idea. I work cheap!
