Saw a lead on V123 today (sorry, Bish) where they referenced this spot voiced by Tim Allen. I hadn't heard it, but really love how he does it.

To me, this is GOOD v/o.
And, in case you didn't know, Allen served 2 and 1/2 years in a federal pen in his '20's for possession of cocaine. Good to know he got on track when he got out, otherwise we all would have missed out on a lot of smiles in our lives.

He also voices Chevrolet and Campbell's Soup spots.
Good stuff.

Earlier this year, Chevy replaced Tim Allen with John Cusack.

Rob, you sound like someone who nose what he's talking about.

Another example of minimalist voiceover comes in this new ad from Apple. Something to learn from young Jedi warriors (us old farts too):

I remember reading that Tim's arrest for cocaine possession also included being a dealer. Very glad he made an about-face in life choices.

His appearance on Inside The Actors Studio was fun. It's on the Tube of You, somewhere.
