That's Iron Eye Cody.
26 years old. I didn't recognize him. I hadn't ever seen the commercial. But now I get the sight gag at the end of Waynes World 2.
I do have some native blood in me. My grandmother was a Fugawe. They were a nomadic people. They wandered around the country asking "where the fugawe?"
I'm almost 22. Nope...I have no idea who that is. I see that he's an Indian, I'm guessing his name is Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Had I caught this in the morning I would've been able to say who it was, but I largely remember his movie/tv appearances more than the commercials. I *think* I actually saw him in person a time or two as well. It always scares me just how much my generation doesn't know about older pop culture.. I may not know it all, but I certainly try. FWIW, somewhere there is a long forgotten Battle of the Network Stars commercial with a 2 year-old CMY sitting on Charlene Tilton's lap.
I found a pic of John Lamour from his acting days! http://www.pliink.com/mt/marxy/archives/greatest.jpg
