The guy's name is Andrew J. West, an actor I understand is on ABC Family's Greeks. He also does not have blond hair, which means that someone at an ad agency thought it would be a good idea to allow a freakish dye job for this ad. Actually, the hair doesn't even look real. I supposed it could be a hairpiece. The whole thing, along with his delicate features, makes him look downright elfish.
But the real creepy thing about this guy is the... okay, this is weird but it needs to be discussed. It's his pale, somewhat doughy, completely hairless body - except for a wispy snail trail under his navel. And the carpet does not match the drapes. Oh come on... look, it had to be said. Don't judge me, in the age of 52-inch LED HD televisions, everything is noticeable. Just ask Geno Auriemma's cold sore, John Madden's ear hair, or Steven Tyler.
I don't blame Andrew J. West, he's probably a fine actor and an even nicer guy. If I were appearing shirtless in a national commercial, I might grab some Nair too (I'd probably tan first, being Irish is both a blessing and a curse). But, it just makes me wonder who is overseeing these commercials. Someone let him go on camera like this and didn't think it to be weird? Your Commercial Creepazoid of the week.

I agree, this guy is definitely creepy, and not in a good way. I'm all for pasty pale males, but there's something icky going here.
Speaking of icky, whoever styled the spokesgirl here is watching way too much Toddlers and Tiaras. The pink dress, fuchsia lipstick and blush are Barbie overkill. Maybe they're targeting preschoolers who don't have cell phones yet?
That's true, creepy can be endearing, like Steve Buscemi. I aim to take down the creeps that are truly creepy.
