Radio Shack - Who is the man?

[Carl]

in the commercial? They act like we should know, but I don't.
He takes a picture of himself with the Hollywood sign in the background. Two women see him and say, "Was that...?" Then the regular Sprint man says, "Yes, it was him." WHO?

Howie something, Wagamama is right. Former football player, now a commentater.

Being a former RS employee, I should remember his last name, but I am drawing a blank. Sorry!

Does Howie go long?

RMD and Blondie have it.

Howie Long. Former Raider, Massachusetts boy, Radio Shack spokesguy, and Fox NFL guy.

or do you mean Ving Rhames who appears with Vanessa Williams? He was Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones,
one of the convicts in Con-Air with John Malkovich and Nicholas Cage. He's also one of the voices Lilo & Stitch.

from Yahoo movies:

burly, bald black actor of stage, screen, and television, Ving Rhames specializes in playing villains and, indeed, having grown up on Harlem's meanest streets, is no stranger to violence. His onscreen persona, however, is no match for his real-life reputation as a deeply compassionate man, seriously dedicated to his profession. The actor ably demonstrated his capacity for abundant generosity

This photo is from his latest fim, "Dark Blue"

Whew. I thought I was losing my mind. But, now that I know it is a sports figure, I also know why I didn't recognize him. Don't follow sports.

Well, Carl said he takes a picture of himself in front of the Hollywood sign with the Sprint Guy, and that a Howie commercial...

Sorry, I missed that part of Carl's post. I haven't seen that commercial yet.
