· Did You Know Section: This week I have an interesting poser for you. Here goes---Who are Paul Marcarelli; Stephanie Courtney; Dennis Haysbert; Jonathan Goldsmith; and Dennis Winters, and why are they famous? They are the highest paid non-sports star or established celebrity actors that appear in commercials we all see on television almost every day:
+ Dennis Haysbert is the “You’re in good hands with All-State” guy with the deep voice.
+ Stephanie Courtney is “Flo” from the Progressive Insurance ads. She makes well over $500,000 a year.
+ Paul Marcarelli has made over $10 million by being Verizon’s “Can you hear me now” guy.
+ Jonathan Goldsmith has made $8 million as Dos Equuis’ “Most interesting man in the world”.
+ Dennis Winters has done quite well as the All-State “Mayhem” guy, to the tune of over $4 million
