I have personally seen him in ads for Genessee Beer, Famous Writers School, another beer, and a floor wax. I know there were many others, as well as some where he lent his voice only. I don’t believe that any appeared during the Fifties, though. To the best of my knowledge, he didn’t begin doing ads in earnest until after Twilight Zone in 1965.
I’ve been extremely interested in Rod Serling for a long, long time. As I’ve studied his remarkable career, one comes across the section where he evidently did quite a few commercials for televison, as a spokeman and pitch-person. But there has never been any listing of his appearances in this particular area. I was wondering if you might know what different companies and product-brands he filmed commercials for. Or could you direct me to a site on the web or a reference work on commercials of the 50’s & 60’s that might contain such a listing.
