robert Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hey, just thought I'd post this. I was chatting with someone on myspace and they were like, 'hey, you're that guy from the TV commercial." I was like, "yeah I filmed a commercial a couple of years ago but haven't seen the new Peta version." So the person sent me a link, and here it is: http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=VegSeattle-Robert I still haven't seen it, even though I got the link a couple of days ago But I have the original at home so I doubt that Peta changed it much. It was originally filmed for VegSeatte (www.vegseattle.com). So check it out.......and remember it was a couple of years ago. I don't have the sideburns now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 Oh cool, both of you guys saw it. I just posted it like 5 minutes ago Yeah, I actually still haven't seen the Peta version (but I assume it is the same as the original, maybe different music or something). But my neighbors and some of my friends have seen it on TV. One of my friends from Hawaii saw it as well. I met him in Oregon and didn't know him real well, but he was friends with some of my friends, and anyway, I guess while I was out on ship the commerical was aired in Hawaii and he called up our mutual friend and said, "what is Cheeke doing on TV?!" so it's cool to know that some people saw it on TV or via the internet. Thanks for cheking it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpeavy Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Cool, great way to get the word out. I hope to see it on TV sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 Thanks, I'm glad you like it.......and just so everyone knows, I was vegan during the time of the filming. I've been vegan for about 10 years now and we used the word "Vegetarian" because more people are familiar with it and can associate with the term. I actually haven't even seen the Peta version yet I don't use volume on my computer and usually have slow connection but I'll watch it soon. My friend's dad just told me he saw it last week on TV in Oregon. I forgot to ask him which channel. I've heard MTV, Food Network, and Comedy Central. Thanks again for watching it. Remember it was filmed back in 2003, but I guess I still look about the same. Still blonde, no sideburns though, and I guess I'm probably bigger and more muscular and not quite as cute Take care everyone, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 gee i wish they would show that out here on food t.v., MTV, and comedy central. And Rob, way to go man. Rob=The poster man for strong vegans everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Thanks man, I try. I've improved a lot since that commercial as well (as hopefully recent 2004 and 2005 photos will show). I finally saw the Peta version of the commercial as well. I watched it last night on my friend's computer (which is faster than mine). It is the same as the one that I saw, so they didn't really change anything, just added the Peta details at the end. Yeah, it's funny, my neighbor saw it on TV, a friend in Hawaii saw it on TV another friend in Oregon saw it, and others from various places have e-mailed saying they've seen it. I think it plays all over the US but probably only like once a day or something........so don't sit around waiting for it I'm glad you all like it. I hope to be filming more of them in the near future. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renecarol25 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I wish the Peta videos weren't so bleeping little. Still cool to put a voice with the face. It was weird hearing you say vegetarian rather than vegan but I understand wanting to reach a wider audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compassionategirl Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Rob,I love the dialogue and you have such a cute voice - it WAS cool to put a voice to the face after all these years. I love the part where you wait to flex your bionic biceps til the end of the announcement. That was really effective. Thanks for helping PETA and thereby, the animals.

chesty leroux Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I dig the accordion music. I know you said you have a variety of musical tastes but I never thought you took it that far. hehe j/k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 I know a bunch of NEW members have joined in the past month or so and may have missed this. I just watched it tonight for fun, I've only actually seen it a few times. But anyway, this is what I look and sound like (or did back in 2003 when it was filmed in Seattle). Just thought I'd share it. I've got a full-length movie coming out in late November of this year that I hope all of you will get. Brendan Brazier and Tonya Kay are also in the film as well as many other random people. Anyway, enjoy the TV commercial : http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/video.asp?video=VegSeattle-Robert&Player=wm&speed=_med -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I've been filming more TV commercials over the past couple of weeks, so maybe you will be seeing NEW ones soon. I'll let you know if and when they are released online or on TV or both. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
