Subject: What is this kid's name???

Written By: Hallie Harker on 01/11/09 at 8:02 am

I remember a Sprite commercial from 1986 that had a little kid in it who asked a gas station attendant if he could trade the 7-up in his hand for a Sprite and then went on to tell the attendant how Sprite tastes better.  Here is the URL:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvtfEAisD8Q. 

Does anyone know the kid's name?  I want to know because he starred in some movie about airplanes and traveling back in time and seeing his grandfather, who was a famous pilot, and I want to know the name of that movie!  Help!!!  It's driving me crazy!!!

I don't know who the kid in that commercial is, but the Adult is Bill Faggerbakke who went on to play Michael "Dobber" Dobbinski on the sitcom COACH

He also does the voice of Patrick Star, in Spongebob Squarepants.

Wanna here something odd?

The guy who plays The Krugen, in Highlander, also does the voice of Mr. Krabs!

;D
