Anyone Else Forget About Dark-Haired Roger Sterling Starring In A 1980s Sports Illustrated Commercial?

You’re going to find this hard to believe, but John Slattery (aka real life Roger Sterling) did some acting prior to taking on the role of everyone’s favorite wise-cracking silver fox in an AMC period drama.

One instance in particular involved this holiday Sports Illustrated mini-infomercial that I had totally forgotten I’d seen like a hundred times in between NFL games as a kid. Not to give too much away but Slattery has dark hair and really can’t believe ALL THE FREE STUFF that SI wants to give him. It’s a pretty surreal/nostalgic/pop culture-y thing to watch in 2013, and feels like just the way to send you guys off for a holiday — Roger Sterling acid trip style.

And since you’re probably wondering, the math (just barely) works for me to float a grown up Kevin Holloway theory.
