Vonage TV Commercial, 'The Chief Generosity Officer' with George Basil



Here is a screenshot for the new Vonage ad.

Looks like this guy might be the new mascot for Vonage:
George Basil, he has a small IMDB profile; thanks to Allison for finding him.

What is the name of the actor in this commercial wearing the suit?

Both actors are wearing suits, and I dont know who either of them it, otherwise their names would be listed. But check back often, I eventually will get names from others or find them myself.

it looks like Jake Johnson from New Girl

No, I checked and its not. If it were, it would be big news that Jake was the spokesperson; so many people are upset at this image, that I am sure TMZ would break the story if it were a well know celeb that was the Vonage Chief. Most people say he looks homeless, I think Vonage is imitating Geico ... and from my experience, it seems when companies use a mascot, so to speak, their commercials are more memorable.
Thanks for stopping by with your suggestion

He does look homeless. His hair looks matted and his clothes look dirty and wrinkled. He's shaggy and unkempt.

He's not homeless. He's a super guy who bought a nice house after we were roommates in Los Angeles :)

He looks and sounds like a young Mel Gibson. Don't you think?
