Maybe you can watch this video and translate in case there are some information regarding the reason he was contacted or why he decided to do this commercial.

that video shows that the guy from c1000 says that they specifically chose Chris Noth. and through their advertising agency they had the right connections to Chris and the choice was easily made..
no other things about chris or why he chose to do it the rest is just about international celebs appearing in dutch commercials. __________________

Thanks for the translation
Clooney's Farragut North Film Elects Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Giamatti - Playbill.com It's a pity Chris didn't have the part he played in NYC and LA, I knew he wanted to reprise his role in George Clooney's movie. I don't know why Philip Seymour Hoffman was choosen instead of Chris (given that the part is for an older man) but maybe his schedule on TGW was clashing with the movie's.

Shame. I like Seymour Hoffman but I'd have loved to see Chris in the part. He got great reviews fo the play.

It is too bad. I get the sense they don't think of Chris for roles like this, although they should. Suspect this is the kind of stuff he would love to do in a movie, rather than a rom com.

Well, Seymour Hoffman is an Oscar winner and multiple nominee so of course that helps attract investors and audiences and critics...

Yep I think Chris doesn't have a big enough name (no offense here, I'm talking Hollywood crap) to get the top billing in a movie like this. I think there should be a legal obligation to at least seriously consider the actors who played the parts on stage when they make a movie out of a play but nobody ever asked me what I thought so...

In the beginning it should have been DiCaprio in the role of John Gallagher, Jr (Chris Pine in LA) and Brad Pitt in the role of Chris Noth. Big names, big money.
But BP is not onboard probably due to schedule issue, LDC was there but now is not anymore so we have Chris Pine, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomeii and Evan Rachel Wood. I'm biased when it comes down to Chris but I can see his name together with the rest of the cast without any fear of being out of place (not to mention that the show was always sold out). |

I think Lily was more referring to the stupid investors mentality that means only the biggest names can attract people to the movie theatre

 ) but Fluff said it right, it's all a matter of what the investors believe and they prefer "sure" names (even though neither Giamatti nor Seymour Hoffman suck IMO but they can say Oscar Winners for those who don't know them, you know?) |

Carla and Lily, your messages was very clear, I didn't think for a moment you were dissing Chris
The old "Oscar Winner" trick works fine in Italy too (we used to add also "Oscar nominated" ). You still don't know who the actor is but you are happy because he won the Award Doesn't matter that the movie is still a crap  Let's say that Brad Pitt was absolutely wrong for the character, it's more an Alec Baldwin role (in fact Chris gained a lot of weight for the part in NYC run). Well, I'm happy that Chris doesn't have to choose between a minor-league movie and TGW (I'd like to see him in a big idiot blockbuster movie  ). |
