Title: ABE VIGODA as Death/Grim Reaper
Post by: joe integlia on February 06, 2009, 06:02:17 AM

there is a television commercial airing either currently or starting next week for h+r block that features Abe Vigoda. he plays mr. death. His face is not shown but u can hear his unmistakeable voice as the character. Mr. death is probably computer generated.

I saw it during the Super Bowl and don't know how I missed the voice.  That's pretty funny-- that someone the media has reported as being dead is cast as Death.

I have a copy of the commercial that I'm planning on posting, but I'm in the process of making some hardware upgrades to my computer and I won't be able to access the software that I use to create videos for the forum until after the upgrades are completed.

And speaking of Abe, he was (ET/CT)/will be (PT) seen briefly on Conan O'Brien tonight in yet another jab at his age.  [snow_cheesy]

Jon Stewart also made a crack about him in the February 4th episode of "The Daily Show."
