Kyle Bornheimer is everywhere on TV, yet he's nowhere on the schedule. The comedic actor — who currently stars in a half-dozen national ads — has done everything from mock the boss during a presentation (Geico) to trigger an ink-cartridge shower by sitting on the Easy button (Staples). Next, he'll take a fish in the face for Coors Light. Here are three highlights from the 31-year-old's 30-second career.
IMODIUM (2005)
Boldly going where few thespians would dare, he plays an intense communications officer who's stationed in the control room of a man's irritable bowels.
''I added the brilliant improv line 'Code Brown!' which I was quite proud of — and also not quite proud of at the same time,'' says Bornheimer.
STANLEY (2006)
He defeats his fellow construction worker in a joust involving two tape
measures, a dolly, and a wheelbarrow.
''We thought it'd be all special
effects, but they put us 30 yards away from each other and said, 'That's
your target — go after him.' The first time, I fell off the dolly and
landed on my hammer.''
SPRINT (2007)
As a Cingular salesman, he answers ''no'' to all questions about mobile
broadband coverage with a clueless smile; meanwhile, his Sprint rival is
a complete yes-man.
''It was written as just a bunch of no's, and then we played around with it. There are exactly 58 funny ways to say no.''
