    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Austin O'Brien

    Is this commercial ANYWHERE on the internet? He was in a Best Buy commercial in the early 90s, before Last Action Hero, and it aired constantly, all the time, I still know it by heart.
    Austin O'Brien walks up to the customer service counter.
    "Last week I bought this" (he shows what he bought, I think it was a portable CD player??) "and this week I saw this." (he holds up a folded piece of newspaper)
    "I just opened the paper and there it was."
    He looks up at the customer service man all innocently.
    The customer service man smiles and opens the register and gives him some money.
    "That's it?" (he can't believe it was that easy)
    "That's it!" says customer service man.
    Austin O'Brien says "Cool" and turns to leave.
    I saw that commercial about 50 thousand times. Anybody else? Is it uploaded anywhere?
    Also, side note, he looks exactly like Kari Lehtonen, the goalie for the Dallas Stars.

      I remember that commercial, but it was for Circuit City, which, ironically, will be opening stores again later this year in 20168 years after filing for bankruptcy.

      Why doesn't IMDB credit him for the commercial?

        Thank you! No wonder I could never find it, I always thought it was a Best Buy commercial. Yep, exactly like I remembered, except it was a tape player, oops.
