KY and Gro Jobs
Kate posted about the same woman appearing in the K-Y Warming Gel and Miracle-Gro TV commercials, both of which encourage growth.
I had noticed the same thing and forgotten to blog about it.
Turns out her name is Erica Shaffer (warning, site plays music, which as you know if you’ve been online more than about a week is a rude design flaw) and she’s in a lot more than two ad campaigns. She’s even been in a bunch of stuff that isn’t ads.
The fascinating thing is that she is fetching, yet at the same time generic, nondescript, malleable. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, for landing acting work. It wouldn’t be that hard to see her in commercials for two products and not realize it was her. I seem to recall the reason I noticed was because KY and Miracle-Gro happened to play almost back to back.
The funny thing is, she and the last advertising actress who made me say “is that the same one?” (Diet Coke skater and Old Navy Madras), Nicole Vicius, are both associated with the Cartoon Network; the one as character voices and the other as “voice of.”
