First National Bank - Journey Campaign "Renovate" TV Spot

 

I have just started to see a third TV spot in the Journey campaign for First National Bank by Bozell. The first two spots were for business and student loans but this last one I assume is for home line of credit. I bring this spot up because of the actor who plays the "husband" struck me as being very familiar. Sure enough, and IMDB.com confirmed my hunch, the "husband" is  Bjørn Johnson who played  "Herr Schniedelwichsen" in Beerfest and has had small rolls on TV shows like Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, The Sopranos, Charmed and ER. I just thought it was funny and I would share it with everyone.
