He is the man your man can smell like, and he is responsible for the most successful and viral ad campaigns for Old Spice (sales were reportedly up 107% in the last month alone!). His name is Isaiah Mustafa.
And now he is breaking into feature films as he is cast with a small role in an upcoming Jennifer Aniston comedy Horrible Bosses where he will play a cop.
Isaiah Mustafa, the star of the now legendary deodorant ads will reportedly play a cop in the upcoming comedy. Mustafa joins a list of Hollywood heavyweights, including Colin Farrell, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, and Kevin Spacey, just to name a few.
And in addition to a role in Tyler Perry’s rediculously titled “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf,” the former NFL player is filming a guest spot on NBC’s action-comedy “Chuck” where he will play a goofy but accomplished CIA Agent.
In a recent Attack of the Show interview he made it public that he wants to play Luke Cage if they ever make a Power Man movie.
Is this stunt casting, or was this just the stepping stone that got him noticed? I wont deny the man his talents, as he certainly has a presence and a charm to him as women everywhere swoon to his baritone banter and cut abs.
His 1 year contract with Old Spice ends in a couple months, and he recently signed a talent agreement with NBC who gets first dibs on the actor unless they “allow” him to do other approved projects.
