Yellow Pages' iconic French polisher TV ad star now in Hollywood movie, 35 years later - AOL

Simon Schatzberger, the teen actor who played the party-host character in Yellow Pages’ 1991 TV advert for finding a French polisher, has landed a role in Hollywood’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day, 35 years later. The ad’s plot centers on a young man who wakes up after a party, searches for help after noticing damage to a wooden table, and manages to avert disaster as the scratch is polished away—only to realize someone has added a beard and glasses to a family painting. Now 58, Schatzberger is credited as “Night Driver” in the new Marvel film alongside Tom Holland and Zendaya. He has also appeared in BBC series Doctors and EastEnders, and in productions including Band of Brothers, Daniel Deronda and Father Brown. Yellow Pages, meanwhile, said it would stop printing directories in 2019 after more than half a century.
