Shatner has been doing it for decades. He is a shameless self-promoter and will be the first to tell you so.

There is a self-effacing quality to his commercials, like the whole thing is one big wink at the camera, that really works.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

I think a lot of prominent actors do commercials overseas. We just don’t see the commercials.

Just for the record. I don’t see anything wrong with anyone doing commercials, including famous celebrities.

[Dr. Sivana]

William Shatner has always been willing to do commercials for anyne who would pay him. Some younger folks know him as The Priceline guy. He also did Oldsmobile in the 80s and Canadian supermarkets in the 70s. Pat Boone and family were pitching Acnestatin in the 70s.

Charlie Sheen ???????????.....................

[Red Badger]

What’s Charlie Sheen selling?

Condoms?.......................

[ripnbang]

Henry Winkler (the saddest in my opinion), William Devane (Gold - pretty cool, though), Tom Selleck (reverse mortgages, pretty sad, too)

[Dr. Sivana]

Hollywood celebs have ALWAYS pitched products.

Here's Joan Crawford:

Ronald Reagan

Orson Welles

Cary Grant

Marilyn Monroe

Pope Leo XIII

[pnut22]

Easy way to pick up some cash. Remember when Bob Hope did a Big Kmart commercial? Mickey Rooney sold insurance?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Tom Selleck shilling for reverse mortgages was crushing to me.
He was one guy in Hollywood who I thought had a decent head on his shoulders.

[Bullish]

Just TV actors anyway.

[RoosterRedux]

Shatner made millions on Priceline. Can’t blame him a bit.

[dynachrome]

Vincent Price and the bug zapper commercials. Hilarious!

[Mears]

Nothing sad about it,it’s capitalism———been going on for years.

[Textide]

Nothing wrong with it. That's capitalism. Here are a few. It was pretty fun to watch some of these....

Reagan and Baraxo Hand Cleaner - 60s

Bob Hope - Texaco Commercial 1970

Paul Newman - Nissan/Datsun seatbelt commercial 1983

Jackie Gleason - (Family sized, lol) Pabst Blue Ribbon 1949

Here is the opposite; a non-actor appearing in a movie. Here's Donald Trump in Home Alone 2.

June Allyson did commercials for Depends for several years.

[OttawaFreeper]

Barbara Eden did them as well, after I Dream of Jeannie and Harper Valley PTA.
