The Old Spice Guy
"The Man Your Man Could Smell Like," known to his friends as Isaiah Mustafa, was the face of Old Spice for a very long period of time. Originally, Mustafa was a football player who could be found on the field back in the 1990s. But, like another beloved Old Spice advertiser, he decided to leave football to start an acting career.

Mustafa was first appearing in small soap opera parts before he then moved onto ad spots and commercials. Because of his involvement with Old Spice, Mustafa got some more impressive acting gigs later in his career. If you watch closely enough, you'll be able to catch his cameos in Horrible Bosses, It Chapter Two, and the trailer of Luke Cage. By the way, this famous part netted him $5 million.
