One of the best parts about working on this initial spot was finding the perfect actor to play Willie. John Ennis (who just so happened to be on two of my favorite TV shows: "Mr. Show" and "Frasier") was the perfect fit from his first audition.

The second-best part of working on this first spot was casting Willie's sidekick, Derek. We ended up going with my best friend and long-time comedy partner, Michael Margetis. Like John, we knew he was the perfect fit from the second he opened up his mouth in auditions.
