I’d buy a crate of pickles ‘n’ cream popsicles from this fiiiine man.
Who is this stud selling Schick razors in a 1980 commercial? Take your time guessing, if you even need to, which you shouldn’t. Answer is after the jump.
Hell yeah, Alan Dale! Before becoming America’s favorite controlling family patriarch (on The O.C., Lost, and Ugly Betty) and a way cooler vice president than Dick Cheney (on 24),the native New Zealander worked his way up from shilling personal grooming products on Australian TV. I think we need a list of everythingawesome about this video.
1. He had hair! Oh, it is luscious. If that woman/prop could glimpsethe future, I bet she’d be dry- shampooing those beautiful curlsinstead of lazily fingering his jawline. (That, by the way, happens tobe number 2.)
3. The way the woman/prop semi-knowingly nods after Alan asks "Youever notice when you shave, how the blades get clogged?" Boy, does sheever! Puffing out her lips, duck-like, only adds to her authority.
4. That bitchin’ piano music at the beginning. Where’d it go? Come back!
5. The guy shaving totally isn’t Alan.
6. Push clean blades. Push clean blades. Push clean blades. How am I not sick of this grammatically nonsensical phrase yet?
7. Worst. Diagram. Ever!

Awesome, would have never guess that was Bradford Meade. The power of YouTube!
*G* Wait until you see him on Neighbours (Aussie soap opera).
alan dale – that was some head of hair
I think it was great, please keep up the good work.
John Smith
I watch Lost, but I still don’t recognize him. Whatev!
Sam Neill.
Alan Dale’s rockin a serious fro!
Thats Bradford Meade from 24!!!
I watch two of the four shows you mentioned and I still don’t know who the hell you’re talking about.
Its the guy who played Kiersten’s dad who married Julie on the OC and then died. He’s now Daniel’s dad on Ugly Betty who apparently tried to kill his mistress Fey. Originally he was on Neighbours in Australia. Its funny to hear him talk in interviews with his real accent. He does American quite well I think.
Sigh…
That’s Alan Dale pre O.C. and pre Ugly Betty
Such a cool dude
BrandonK, it’s Charles Widmore, Penny’s father!
And this looks like Francis Rossie of Status Quo getting in on shave promotions!
I watch all those shows!!!! But I dont remember him on LOST!!!!
Is it wrong for me to find Alan Dale (even today) a total hottie? And not just in a ‘daddie’ sort of way?
