CaribWorldNews, NEW YORK, NY, Tues. Feb. 5, 2008: Trinidad-born actor, Sullivan Walker, who has played several roles on a number of television shows, including `The Cosby Show,` on Sunday made an appearance at Super Bowl XLII.
Walker played the cab driver in the widely acclaimed Coca-Cola's parade-float. In the ad, a couple of inflated cartoon characters battle it out for a floating bottle of Coke, only to lose the prize to a triumphant Charlie Brown balloon.
Walker was seen staring up in shock at the huge balloons as they floated past his cab. Yesterday, the actor who has played several roles on shows like `Law & Order Special Victims Unit,` and `The Pretender,` told CWN jokingly, he was glad `they didn’t edit me out.`
The ad was shot in December, he said, adding that he hopes it will serve as an inspiration to `actors from the region to know they can perform at the highest possible standards … if they are prepared to put in the work.`
Thirty-second ads in the Super Bowl, which according to Nielsen rating was seen by a whopping 92 million people, cost a huge US$2.7 million a pop. – CaribWorldNews.com
