The Pepperidge Farm Guy
You might have seen him mocked on the show Family Guy before, but did you know this was a real commercial? The Pepperidge Farm Guy, aka Charles C. Welch, had a 16 year run as the comforting bow-tied salesman for Pepperidge Farm's bakery. Unfortunately, he passed away from cancer in 2004.
A Legend Never Dies
Sammy Davis, Mary Tyler Moore, and Angela Lansbury were all some extremely famous theater actors that Welch worked with before he passed. He had made over 400 television appearances, such as when he was in General Hospital and Days of Our Lives. Welch earned over $200,000 for telling the camera "Pepperidge Farm remembers." Now that's easy money!
