When any Liberty Mutual commercial comes on TV, am I the only one who almost always involuntarily says “Liberty bibberty”? As the classic quote from the 90s goes, I LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU! That is, I learned it by watching this ad from Liberty (and be sure to scroll down for the hilarious extended version)…
The Actor. The “bad actor” in this commercial is actually a professional actor named Tanner Novlan. You might recognize him the way my mom and sister did… from daytime soap opera The Bold & The Beautiful where he plays the part of doctor John Finnegan. Also, if you watch the clip below (from 2020), you’ll soon learn his mom (just like my mom) is a fan of this show going way back, so much so that she named her dog Thorne, after the character on the show, Thorne Forrester. I would’ve went with Ridge, but that’s just me.
Tanner’s been in quite a few ads, a few as a hockey player. Hey, he IS from Canada, so the hockey thing kind of makes sense. He’s married to actress Kayla Ewell who’s been cast on B&B before, and well-known for her role in The Vampire Diaries.
Back to the commercial, you MUST check out the extended ad here. It’s even more funny.
Thanks for dribbity dropping by…
