The Cast of Adverts/Commercials


It's really hard to find out who the person you half recognise is. Adverts are like the early days of Cinema when actors were deemed unimportant (and therefore paid little) by the film makers and so not named - until the public demanded it. You can find the advert making company sites which will credit the 'creative' people (who presumably work for that company) but will not list the cast.
How hard would that be to do?
My current bugbear is a Samsung phone advert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXXoY4gu-2s
The 'lead' is Jamie-Rose Duke and you also see comedian Eleanor Morton, but who is the actress who shows the phone at the beginning?

I've never heard "bugbear" before.

I'm either showing my age or Britishness - possibly both.

The usual go-to website to find out more is ispot.tv/browse.
But they don't always list the actors. Sometimes yes. Sometimes no.

Interesting site, thanks. Doesn't help for this advert but maybe I'll be luckier next time.

Yeah, I looked myself, and there were quite a few Galaxy z flip 4 phone ads. But of course not for this one lol. Also I seem to have better luck sometimes when I do a Google search such as "ispot tv Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 'Join The Flip Side'". Then when the Google results come up I click on videos and then they'll be a list of what they have. Seems to be easier that way for some reason I don't know why.
