Elisabeth Moss For Excedrin?

I'm fast forwarding through the commercials while watching last night's episode of The Unusuals when I catch just a glimpse. I rewind, go back, start the commercial over. It's her - I was right. Elizabeth Moss. Holding a bottle of Excedrin and talking about migraine relief.

At first I'm thinking, are things really that bad? From the few commercials I inadvertently catch now and then, I have been noticing more recognizable actors. Usually that guy or girl you've seen with a bit part in Law & Order or some sitcom, you have no idea what their name is but you know you've seen them with one or two line parts in a couple dozen shows throughout the years. It's just something you notice with a bad economy.

That's one thing but when you see someone like Elisabeth Moss, known for The West Wing and currently one of the major parts of a buzzed about show like Mad Men it can be kind of a shock. I thought to myself, once you see an actor accepting an Emmy you shouldn't really see them in commercials. In the states, anyway.

But then I thought about it and did some research. The commercial is a couple years old and Excedrin has just now decided to start using them again. I would assume due to Ms. Moss' new found fame. I wonder if she had to approve use of them again or if Excedrin can just pull them out at any time.

See part of the commercial here.
