14 Stars from Commercials – Who Are They Really?

3. Paul Marcarelli – Verizon’s “Can You Hear Me Now?” Guy

While he’s done a bit of stage acting and other commercial work, Paul Marcarelli’s stint as the test guy for Verizon is his biggest claim to fame. The gig ran from 2002 to 2011, so anyone with a TV during that decade saw plenty of his “can you hear me now” shtick. It’s become a cultural catchphrase. Entertainment Weekly actually named him one of the most intriguing people of 2002. Was it the horn-rimmed glasses that made him so appealing? Whatever it was, he is one of the most recognizable brand ambassadors out there, prompting Marcarelli to say, “I probably hold a world record for appearing in more airport selfies than anyone in history.”
