The Dell Dude
You might recognize this throwback if you were an avid fan of television in the early 2000s. This guy is named Benjamin Curtis, and he is known as the Dell Dude. He was born in Tennessee, and he was only a small-time actor for a short period of his life before he landed his lucrative Dell gig. Before all of that, Curtis was actually a highly respected and beloved magician.
Time Flies
Nowadays, the TV's favorite Dell Dude isn't up to much of anything. The $50,000 that he got from doing the Dell spots has been used up and Curtis wasn't as able to score acting gigs after that. While he brought Dell a ton of revenue, it didn't do much for his own bank account longterm.
