Actor Eric Zimmermann Getting Close to Bollywood

December 8, 2015 By Eric Zimmermann

I didn’t get to travel to India to shoot this commercial.

Actually, India came to Los Angeles via Savile Row London.

For nearly 200 years Savile Row has been the street in London where prestigious tailors custom design clothing for Royalty, members of Parliament and film stars.

For a few frames I play a Savile Row tailor with Bollywood Actor Akshay Kumar playing himself.

Here is a short film on the making of “What’s Your Pleasure?” the Baba Elachi Gum commercial followed by the actual commercial.

To say “I had a lot of fun” would be an understatement!

As a commercial actor I have had the unique opportunity to “be lots of people”. Businessman, Doctor, Engineer, Airline Pilot…

Yup, I’m all those guys and as a result acting is helping me become more myself.

Actor and Master of Ceremonies, a Perfect Fit

I have a blast performing for weddings and parties as a Pianist, DJ and Master of Ceremonies. I have just as much fun as a commercial actor. These activities are creative and have “communication” in common.

Before we met, Elaine (Bride) had already hired her DJ/MC. She is a very creative person (a hair and makeup artist) and had a clear vision for her wedding. She hired the Elegant Music Quartet to perform for her wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I love working with artists. Artists get it. They understand “presentation” and “performance.” Working together we created a beautiful wedding ceremony program which included motion picture music from “Pride and Prejudice” and “Father of the Bride” (see below).

Need A Master of Ceremonies

In a final meeting about a week before her wedding to go over last minute details we started talking about her grand entrance and then a concern popped up about how it would be done. After talking with Elaine a bit I said, well this is how I would do it….

She liked what she heard and so asked if I would be the Master of Ceremonies for her grand entrance. This was such a nice validation because she chose me for being me.

I went to school for music performance but as a commercial actor I have had the unique opportunity to “be lots of people”. Businessman, Father, Doctor, Engineer, Airline Pilot… Yup, I’m all those guys.

In some ways being in front of an audience every weekend has helped me be a better actor and in some ways being an actor has helped me be a better Master of Ceremonies. I love what I do, it’s a perfect fit.

It is safe to say that everyone has ideas about the environment around them.

Indeed the ideas that we project on people, objects and locations influence how we perceive those things; for example: “New York City” or “Hollywood”.

In this video the “Bank Manager” has some interesting ideas that shape his perception of his environment.

“To The Top”

I had a lot of fun being part of this commercial shot at the top of Pike’s Peak in Colorado; I played the Chief Engineer. What an adventure!

Conquering weather and elevation challenges made it quite an accomplishment for everyone who worked on this shoot. Congratulations to Director Ivan Zacharias and Director of Photography Adam Kimmel!
