Henry Winkler, and Fred Thompson for crying out loud, shilling reverse mortgages on TV.

Do they need the money that bad?

Yes.

The Fonz wants a new Triumph and Tom Clancy ain't churning out any more books for Fred Thompson to portray an admiral/general/etc. on the big screen.

i love the one with montel williams shilling high interest loans to people to get out of debt. he must have no money at all or no morals. or maybe both. and henry winkler makes me ill. what a friggen little pansy.

Well its a pay check- I don't have a problem with it. Lots of actors do this sort of thing, its nothing new. Back in the day they would be hawking tobacco Whiskey and Beer. Thou Don Equis runs some pretty good ads about the Most interesting man in the World, an Actor who was in "Go tell the Spartans". Never mind about the ladies and the make up.

Their best day were those they pretended to be someone they are not.

They got to eat too.

Everyone needs to earn their daily bread, but doing it by bamboozling or otherwise taking advantage of folks is bad form. I prefer to sleep at night.
