I'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.

I feel like I was in the last graduating class of commercial actors.

I starred in Dr. Pepper commercials and Buick ads.

I got a part in a package of commercials for this big drugstore from the age of 6 to 10. For four years I shot those commercials, and old ladies would stop me on the street and grab my cheeks. That's how it started.

As an actor, you can believe that you are the reason for a show's success, but these things are a brand name now. They're like Coca-Cola. It's like, with or without you, people are still gonna drink it.

Well, I wasn't just kind of standing in a queue at McDonald's and someone sat down and said, 'You're the director of a $100 million Hollywood movie.' I've been working in commercials for ten years.

I walked in thinking, 'I have ten movies under my belt and now they want me to go back to making commercials?' I said, if I do that, I want it to be funny.

If I did things for the money, I'd have done adverts in the 1980s, when I was hot enough to be offered them, and 'Police Academy 6,' which I was asked to write.

When I started getting notoriety it was cheesy to appear in a commercial.

I did commercials since I was 16, and that's kind of acting, depending on what you're selling.
