Jonathan Goldsmith – Most Interesting Man

Neither Elon Musk nor Warren Buffet, the title “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” belongs to character actor Jonathan Goldsmith. He was featured in ad campaigns for Dos Equid beer starting in 2006, where he played a debonair older gentleman. These campaigns had him reciting a monologue that was equal parts amusing and shocking.

He played the role in these campaigns until 2016, when the last ad showed him going to Mars. “The Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign ended two years later in 2018. Goldsmith became an Internet meme after starring in those commercials. Even better, he was invited to meet President Obama after his fame and was even parodied on Saturday Night Live by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
