In a commercial for Bad Santa the movie with Billy Bob Thorton Nathan got a fast shot of him sayinghow funny the movie was.

No money or anything for it, but I thought a smart thing from the filmmakers to use a person that a niche group of people would recognize.

Silly me, I always thought those were real people. Now I know they are actors.

Haven't noticed him in that preview. Will have to keep a sharper eye on it the next time.

Thanks Keiffer. :)

I saw it too. I always thought those were real people too, not actor-wannabe's. Silly me.

Yeah, I saw him. I guess he'll try to be an actor now...maybe the next McConaughey.

The actors they cast in those commercials are people they pick because they seem average and nondescript. If I were Nathan I would face up to the fact that Hollywood will never see me as the next Mconaughey. Talk about kiss of death, that commercial is it. lol

I saw the commercial last night.

I kept wondering, do they shoot these commercials well in advance of the movie opening? I could see Nathan getting this gig in September while he was still in LA--right after the show.

You got to give his agent credit. At least he got Nathan something. :)

I've seen them set up the cameras outside movie screenings in LA a bunch of times. They use real people. They may not have known who he was.

I did hear a few years ago that some films who couldn't get enough good reviews from real people will make staffers come do it, but I haven't heard of them using actors.

If they did "hire" him, that would be very strange. But I wouldn't put it past them. I did hear that no one liked the movie, so go figure.

"No one liked the movie"... not true. Bad Santa is not a film for everyone, but it certainly has received a lot of good reviews, from me included.

I think it's safe to assume that if Nate saw them setting up a camera, he'd make darn sure to get on film. :)

Two seconds. It's probably the only acting gig he could remember his lines for.

Didn't know where else to put this. I'm not usually a gossip-type person, but I knew some of you might want to know if you didn't already. Here's a post on another website about who Nate is dating now...it's a contestant from a previous Survivor(and not a very well liked one): http://forums.realitytvplanet.com/viewtopic.php?t=19102
