MightyPants’ resident ham Tony Grillo recently took a break from his producing duties to play the role of a stuffy anglo con-artist in a media ad for Atlanta’s High Museum of Art.

Produced by Atlanta’s Mountain View Group, the ad features an upper-crust englishman showing off his cadre of classic cars… but he’s not all he appears to be. Through the help of a perplexed security guard (played by the talented Marc Farley), we discover this is the new Dream Cars exhibit at the High Museum, and our british braggart is merely an oppor-tourist.

While Tony spends a good deal of time in front of the mic (and behind the camera), this is a rare on-screen role for the former class clown. Now, the MightyPants management has a message for him: don’t quit your day job. Seriously, get back to work.

 

The spot was directed (and co-voiced) by Kris Johnson of Mountain View.
