I feel bad for Today’s Winner. He’s been kicking around TV in a number of decent roles for the last decade or so, most notably to me as the psychiatrist’s schizoid younger brother on “Huff”. He seemed to me, in fact, to be perched on the cusp of character actor stardom.

But lately I’ve been seeing him do a number of non-speaking roles in beer commercials. I’m sure the money’s okay, but what a weird step down and sideways careerwise. Everybody has a hungry monkey in a cage somewhere that needs feeding, I guess.
