Who plays the CEO in the GEICO commercials?

[Graybeard]

He's so convincing that I thought he might actually be the real CEO.

So I did a Google search and as it turns out he is an actor who has been doing voice-overs for a long time named Brian Carney. And he's the son of the wonderful Art Carney.

That was a pleasant surprise.

2. Any son of Art Carney

is a son of mine.

Wait. That isn't what I meant. I never even met Art Carney!

What I meant is that any son of Art Carney's is OK in my book. :-)

Thanks for posting this. I've been wondering who the chap is. Handsome devil, I'll say that.

4. He does have a great voice.

5. I think he created a great character there. A CEO who is benevolent, but

still a little clueless.

I love the time when he suggested to the gecko that they do the fall-back-and-catch trust exercise. He's completely blind as to the inadvisability of the exercise, but wants to go through with it anyway.

"No, no. We can DO this!" It's like he's saying "This is cool. I saw it at a management seminar!"
