Acting Majors: Your Future in Insurance Commercials!

Find yourself complaining about the lack of notoriety our alumni have? Do you longingly wait for something bigger and better--aside from an emotional vampire spin-off star, David Boreanaz--to graduate from IC, and "make it" as a celebrity? Has your last brush with IC fame (Vanessa Carlton's sister Lindsay Lohan's brother) been less than stellar?

Well, guess what? One of those hyper-sarcastic Geico cavemen, Ben Wilson '99, went to our school. Also! He finds commercial acting hard. And states the obvious!

"'Acting is an insane job,' Wilson said. 'If you're working, you're working. If not, your job is working on looking for work.'"
Wilson resides in California, but is originally from Nebraska... and hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings:
"'We have a place called the Nebraska Coast Connection where we drink 50-cent beers, have Runza feeds, raffle off Dorothy Lynch dressing and talk about Nebraska stuff.'"
Dorothy Lynch dressing indeed! Oh, the glamorous life of Ithaca College acting graduates.
