Thought I'd share this here - I've been searching for the actor who fronted Sega Europe's Dreamcast ad campaign for over a year...and I finally found him and interviewed him. http://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2016/09/an-interview-with-pierre-santino.html
They showed that commercial before Star Wars Episode 1? That's a pretty big plug. I never heard of the guy before but that's a interesting story.
