14 DAY TRIAL // In the past two weeks, Apple has posted three new Get a Mac commercials on its website, two of which have been confirmed as airing for various TV channels as well. The latest ad, “Trainer,” stars renowned actor Robert Loggia.
In the new ad, Loggia is PC’s trainer. PC is trying to get in shape in order to provide customers with reliability, as well as better customer support, for an overall better customer satisfaction. These are areas where Mac scores high, according to PC’s trainer. As you can imagine, hearing how great Mac is doesn’t give PC a very good mental state.
Loggia is an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning American film and television actor and director, who specializes in character parts. The actor first came to prominence playing real-life American lawman Elfego Baca in a 1958 series of Walt Disney television shows, according to Wikipedia. Loggia starred as the proverbial cat-burglar-turned-good in a short-lived series called T.H.E. Cat.
The actor’s television credits include appearances in Overland Trail, Target: The Corruptors!, The Eleventh Hour, Breaking Point, Combat!, Custer, Columbo, Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels, The Rockford Files (three times as three different characters), Magnum, P.I., Quincy ME, The Sopranos, and Oliver Stone's miniseries Wild Palms. Film roles include An Officer and a Gentleman, Scarface, Prizzi's Honor, Independence Day, Necessary Roughness, Return to Me, Armed and Dangerous, Over The Top and Big (for which he won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor).
