Almost famous by 1 degree of separation...

so my dad sent me the clip of the radio ad my uncle did for colombo yogurt, but i quickly learned that you can't post audio files easily to your blog. therefore i'll just post a picture of him:OK - that's not really him - but EVERYONE who knows him swears he looks just like the dunkin donuts guy. i'll see if i can dig up a picture of him - you'll see - he could be his long lost twin. anyway, if you happen to be driving along one day in the boston area (they don't seem to sell colombo out here) and hear a guy talking about naming his yogurt flavor "at the cape creamy vanilla" - that's him!

Sadly, the real Dunkin' Donut guy, Michael Vale, died at the age of 83 in late 2005.

Unless he faked his death and is living a covert life as your uncle?

oh i remember when he died - it was big news in boston. my uncle actually met him - was going to do a commercial with him for D&D and then said my uncle looked TOO much like him for the commercial and it got canned.
