"Who is the actor in the Consumer Celluar commercial?" some people may be wondering after they see the ad pop up on television or before a YouTube video plays. The tall, white-haired, bespectacled man narrating and appearing in the cell phone network commercials is none other than Ted Danson. It's hard to say what exactly is Ted Danson's best role. For some, it may be Sam Malone in Cheers, for others it's Michael in The Good Place, but some viewers may strictly know the actor as the exaggerated version of himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Wherever people recognize him from, it's hard to deny the magnetism of the oft-smiling actor whose powerful but smooth-sounding voice and ability to portray a variety of emotions are welcome additions to any movie or TV show. It has to be handed to Consumer Cellular that they made a wise choice when they selected Danson to be one of their spokespeople. Consumer Cellular is a mobile network operator that claims to have the same 5G coverage as major carriers at a more reasonable cost. It's a dry sell, but Danson makes the ads worth sticking around for.

It's always exciting when Ted shows up in Curb Your Enthusiasm, as his scenes begin with hugs and kisses and end in near fistfights every single time.
Ted Danson Brings Good Place Energy To His The Consumer Cellular Commerical
Danson Is Vibrant And Happy In The Commercials
Ted Danson appears in a Consumer Cellular ad campaign, which shows him narrating an everyday scene as the subjects of the commercial enjoy the benefits of using Consumer Cellular or learn about the network via the magnanimous Danson. In one, Danson tells the story of a golfer whose subscription to Consumer Cellular has lowered his prices and lowered his stroke count. Another sees Danson riding a bicycle next to a man riding a bike who's so delighted with his coverage he rides off into the sky like the birds that surround him.
In a lot of ways, his character in the commercial is similar to his character Michael in The Good Place. Both are constantly smiling, happy to divulge information, helpful, and eminently trustworthy. All the reasons the classic reveal of Michael as the devil works so well are the same reasons he's such a great spokesperson. Who wouldn't want to take advice from Ted Danson? He's confident, but not too pleased with himself, kind but not fawning, and knowledgeable but not a know-it-all.
If the commercials lasted ten more seconds, maybe his lips would curl into a sneer and Ted the Consumer Cellular salesman would become the Consumer Cellular devil, but as it were, the commercials end where they do and viewers' only worry will be the phone bills they probably haven't considered in a few years.
Actor Ted Jonas Is Also A Consumer Cellular Spokesperson
Consumer Cellular Has Two Teds On Its Payroll
Ted Danson isn't the only Consumer Cellular spokesperson. Ted Jonas is also a spokesperson for the network, "Yes, his name is Ted too," his TikTok introduction says. The Ted Jonas commercials see the orange sweater-clad Ted giving tours of Consumer Cellular HQ and zooming around on an orange scooter. Jonas' commercials are much less silly and are more about delivering information about the network straightforwardly, though there's still plenty of goofiness.
Ted Danson and Ted Jonas make a good spokes-team for the network. Danson draws consumers in with his short, snappy commercials, and then Jonas is there for when someone looking to switch providers wants to learn more. It's a one-two punch.
