The Old Spice Guy
Isaiah Mustafa, who is also known as "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like," was the face of Old Spice for a long time. Originally, Mustafa was a football player in the 1990s. But, like another beloved Old Spice advertiser, he decided to leave football to start acting.
Starting in Soaps
Mustafa started appearing in soap operas first, then he moved onto TV spots and commercials. Because of his involvement with Old Spice, Mustafa got some more acting gigs afterward. If you look close enough, you'll be able to catch him in Horrible Bosses, It Chapter Two, and the trailer of Luke Cage. By the way, this gig netted him $5 million.
