Ricky is Famous... lol

[SKULLCRUSHER]

For those of you that know my son, Ricky... he had an audition and made it into his first commercial for Ford.

If you happen to be watching TV over the next few weeks, on Global or CTV perhaps, we may see him towards the end of the commercial.

If I can get a clip I will post it here.

[Cleavage Monkey]

Cool....I will have to pay attention when they are on and hopefully see him. :)

[WiseGuy]

hahahah no way!! GJ Ricky!

[Doolittle]

Right on lil'dude !

[NIS3R]

Sweet He Should So Buy A Disk With His $$$! :d Hes Pro! Get Him In A League!

[Crayola]

does he have a sweet part in it where he throws down some gangsta lyrics

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Not that I am aware of Phil. He plans to buy himself a laptop sometime later this summer when all the cash comes in.

[aftersh0ck]

haha that's awesome! Way to go! I'll see if I can catch him

[WiseGuy]

How much $$ did you get paid for him doing the part?

[SKULLCRUSHER]

He got 600 for a days work (less then a day really) and should make another 2400 for air time.

[silence]

[NIS3R]

[The Killing Joke]

Dude - what's with the racial overtones to your posts today? I just replied to the other one, but I gotta ask, could you be a little more careful with the way you post?

[Zimba]

Dude - what's with the racial overtones to your posts today? I just replied to the other one, but I gotta ask, could you be a little more careful with the way you post?

i dont see how saying jewish is racist, considering its constantly said on the news among other things

[WiseGuy]

we gotta youtube a link of this commercial in here ASAP

[NIS3R]

ya are are pumped! lol i never knew anyone in a commercial b4!

[Crayola]

i dont see how saying jewish is racist, considering its constantly said on the news among other things

do you know for a fact that the kid is jewish?

[gOOCH]

lol look at him

[Mike-KT]

I saw Ricky, I saw Ricky!

He's sitting in a car, then later, and old man touches him

It's the ad for family pricing

[WiseGuy]

YEAAA!!! GJ mike... youtube ??

[Fabulous D]

where is the damn commercial???

[SKULLCRUSHER]

I still havent see the fuckin thing !! What channel and show were you watchin Mike ?

[Mike-KT]

I donno, I've seen the add a couple times though, obviously it'll be on a Canadian channel.

I tried youtube, but i didn't find anything

[Zimba]

do you know for a fact that the kid is jewish?

no i just think the suite and the little hat on his scalp was there for kicks

[Crayola]

no i just think the suite and the little hat on his scalp was there for kicks

im sorry, what?

[jefftheworld]

im sorry, what?

The kid was wearing traditional Jewish clothing. He was quite obviously Jewish, so I don't see how it's offensive to call him such.

[The Killing Joke]

He's sitting in a car, then later, and old man touches him

...that's never good! :eek:

:lol:

[SKULLCRUSHER]

LOL, yea, I finally saw the damn thing after 2 hours of scanning all the local stations. If you blinked, you would have missed him as they flash from one thing to the next so fast. Pretty cool though all the same; I am happy for him.

Oh, and can we please drop the whole reference to Jewish people. I dont think we need to discuss that stuff here.

[NIS3R]

agreed i didnt even know this was still being discussed... and apparently only one person is still talking about it! lol

GRRR i wana see it some one tape it!

[Cleavage Monkey]

I finally saw it :).
Also found it on youtube...enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUxwilmJyNw

[NIS3R s Dad]

Nice job there ya little leprechaun!

[SKULLCRUSHER]

LOL, nice find Kathy, thanks ... for some reason I figured it wouldn't have made it to youtube yet.

For those of you who havent met Ricky he is towards the end of the commercial sitting in the passenger side of an SUV, then looks towards the camera and smiles.

[Rez Prophet]

[WiseGuy]

thats totally awesome!! Ricky is my new hero!

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Wait........score, he went and auditioned for a new Rogers commercial and got the job. Wardrobe on Monday and filming through the week. He also auditioned for a new TV series, so hopefully he gets that sweet deal.

Nice going Richard, I'm proud of you !

[Calamity Gundam]

*Cue Gerry tears* rofl

[Cleavage Monkey]

How cool. You must be so proud. Good job Ricky.

[NIS3R s Dad]

:))

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Rogers commercial hit the TV today guys and gals, keep an eye out and let me know who see's it first. My money is on KT.

There should be radio spots and billboards out soon also for Rogers with Ricky.

[The Killing Joke]

Rogers commercial hit the TV today guys and gals, keep an eye out and let me know who see's it first. My money is on KT.

I saw it this morning. Congrats on the speaking role, and for getting a hottie for his TV sister. (Hope Ricky got the digits on that one.) Come to think of it, his TV dad is better looking too!

:p

[manofphat]

awwwwwwwww I want to see it dammit! What was the commercial advertising Rick?

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Its for Rogers ! Pay More, Get less... wait, thats not right (well, actually it is but...) Pay Less, Get More campaign.

[Krythos]

someone tape it and put it on www.veoh.com

[The Killing Joke]

someone tape it and put it on www.veoh.com

"Tape" it? What is this "tape" thing you are speaking of?

:lol:

[Cleavage Monkey]

I saw it last night. On showcase Diva of all places. Nice work Ricky. The TV dad looks familiar. I have seen him in other things.

[The Killing Joke]

The TV dad looks familiar. I have seen him in other things.

I know what you mean, and I finally figured out where I'd seen him before.

While he resembles Wallace Langham, who plays irritating lab tech David Hodges on CSI, this actor had a small role on Stargate SG-1, where he played an alien intelligence on a ship, who was terraforming a planet, and was mostly oblivious to the fact that if he continued, he would eradicate the planets' current inhabitants.

(He's also had a couple of other commercials, I believe, for those who don't watch Stargate SG-1)

...yes, I watch too much TV, and sometimes, a little too closely.

:))

Edit: Ok - I'm a geek, and now I need to know. Ask Ricky if the actor who played TV Dad was named Brian Markinson. I just found the Stargate Episode I was talking about here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_Earth_(Stargate_SG-1)).

Edit 2: Hmm - I just found a pic, and find myself second guessing my answer... ...although I'm sure I've seen the TV Dad around before.

[Cleavage Monkey]

So it isn't the guy from CSI? Damn he does look a lot like him.
btw Gerry....I still think you are better looking that his tv dad.

[The Killing Joke]

So it isn't the guy from CSI? Damn he does look a lot like him.

I agree - that's what started my original "geek trip", when I'd seen him in other shows and commercials. I hate when I can't figure out who's who.

[SKULLCRUSHER]

I will check to see if Ricky what the 'artificial' father's name was.

[The Killing Joke]

Cool. Which reminds me, when am I getting my autographed head shot?

[ricky]

the next lan lol...thanks guys

[manofphat]

I still haven't seen the damn Rogers commercial. Has anyone tracked it down yet?

[The Killing Joke]

Uhh - I've seen it a bunch of times - read the previous posts. Ricky even gets to talk in it.

[Cleavage Monkey]

I looked again on youtube the other night and still nothing. I can't believe you haven't seen it yet. I have seen it at least 15 times already.

[Krythos]

I havnt seen it either but then again, I dont really watch television so... XD

[Doolittle]

You can see the pic at www.rogers.com, but no vid that I can find.

[manofphat]

sweet. Nice find Doo!

[WiseGuy]

heyyyy i just saw the commercial! haha i was like "Hey dad, i kno that kid"

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Yea, sweet deal eh.... now if he would only pay his debts !!

[NIS3R]

You can see the pic at www.rogers.com, but no vid that I can find.

ricky looks blacker then the last time i saw him.....

[WiseGuy]

LOL!!

[manofphat]

bahahhah I saw the commercial in a bar on Saturday. I couldn't actually hear what he was saying because it was so loud but I slammed my fists against the table, stood up, and yelled "I KNOW THAT KID". I was really drunk so no one believed me so I spent the next 5 minutes explaining this shit lol

[Mike-KT]

you shoulda thrown your towlie at anyone who didn't believe you

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Rofl... nice one Winston, I would have loved to see you do that in a loaded bar. And yes, I got your voicemail you nut.

[aftersh0ck]

LMAO Winston...that sounds so much like something you would do.

[Doolittle]

ricky looks blacker then the last time i saw him.....

You night need to get your monitor replaced, that or.. wait, is there yet a surgery for color blindness?:lol:

he's the one holding the sign "More movies" and again cuddled up next to his TV Mom and TV sister on the couch.

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Well guys, Ricky has done it again, only this time its MAJOR.

He went to an audition today and was later awarded the part over the phone while they were on the way home. OH, and this isn't a TV commercial either.

Ricky will be starring along with none other then the well known Canadian Actor / Comedian, Mr. Eugene Levy. Although most movies are created to hit the theatres, depending on the outcome it may go direct to TV or DVD. Regardless, Ricky will be paid more then most people make in an annual salary. Plus, 5 weeks out of school with a paid Tutor, all the food he wants from any of the local restaurants - all paid for.

Movie will be shooting up near Calamity country in the next two weeks. So look for the Film trailers in the Barrie area soon.

Good on ya Ricky. Now he can buy the Orange Box.

[ORION]

Film trailers? in my /B/arrie?
It's more likely then you think!

[theunderking]

Thats freaking sweet. Say congrats to him for me.

[alarmist]

eugene levy makes me lol
congrats

[Crayola]

[Wesley Crusher]

Wow awesome. Wait for pics to surface on the internet of him wearing the cobra hat!

[SKULLCRUSHER]

rofl

[Cleavage Monkey]

Speaking of money....did you ever get paid back for the laptop?

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Yes, he finally got the cheque and paid his old man. Now he will probably want to sell the laptop and buy a killer laptop.

[Cleavage Monkey]

Tell him to give it to his Aunt Kathy :D

[ricky]

[manofphat]

Man that's wicked news! Don't forget manofphat when you're famous dude!!!
You should try to put in a plug for us in the movie somewhere. Put our website on your shoe laces or something hahha

[Crayola]

[The Killing Joke]

Wow awesome. Wait for pics to surface on the internet of him wearing the cobra hat!


lmao guys thanks lol and i hope i am not going to see the ummm pic of the u no... cobra hat lol...

I'm hoarding my copies of the pics - just to sell to the Enquirer when you get all "I'm too big to hang with those NR guys..." and start dating Hanna Montana. Of course, if I get that autographed headshot I asked for months ago, I might be swayed to tell them all the 'nice things' you pay me to say.

:))

[manofphat]

yeah that's a good call Rick. We should get autographs now while they're still cheap!

[EyeMaster]

Is he wearing a TNR T-Shirt in the commercial? he heh e

[The Killing Joke]

yeah that's a good call Rick. We should get autographs now while they're still cheap!

Back of the line, Winston.

:))

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Im gonna ask him to wear the shirt to the movie shoot everyday. Perhaps he will meet some gamers, and if they take any "behind the scenes" film shots we can see them when the DVD comes out.

[manofphat]

Or maybe we can get some celebs on the site. I forget who I was talking to but they know someone from Star Trek? lol

[The Killing Joke]

Ha! That's a great idea! (...and for those days that his TNR shirt smells "not so fresh", I'll personally donate a bunch of GENII DEVELOPMENT shirts for him to wear!)

:))

[manofphat]

back of the line Rick!

[The Killing Joke]

My Wife's best friend (who we're going to visit tomorrow) is the sister of Cone McCaslin, the bassist in Sum41. I used to talk with one of the other guys in the band's step-dad when I worked out at our local gym, and he told me that he was really impressed with Paris Hilton's manners when she stayed at his house, once.

:))

[manofphat]

So you can get them both on the site?

[The Killing Joke]

No. For various reasons, no. Sorry. (I might be able to get Cone's sister to make an appearance, but she hates being mobbed by her brother's fans.)

Actually, that's a funny story. My Wife and her were backstage at one of their earlier concerts, and they were mobbed by a bunch of screaming teenage girls, all of which thought Michele was his sister.

:)

[pig]

lol sum41
**Auto-merged Double Post**
holy
how old is ricky?

[SKULLCRUSHER]

He is 14 years old.

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Keep your eyes peeled for the Ford commercials again.... they are running the ones with Ricky (my son) in them.

[Crayola]

omg really? which one is he? the one touching the boy or the one being touched?

[SKULLCRUSHER]

the one being touched... you pervert

[Radiojock]

He got 600 for a days work (less then a day really) and should make another 2400 for air time.

Holy SH*T do I ever get gypped for voicework, lol.


*shaking head*

[SKULLCRUSHER]

Apparently.... you need to get your full Actra union card man.
