Oo! I found it in YouTube!
There’s a new ad on tv for UPMC, which is some medical company (lol, so helpful). The narrator sounds EXACTLY like Ben. Anyone else seen it? I’ve watched it about 3 times now on MSNBC.

I hadn’t seen it before but that does sound like him. So he’s doing commercial voiceovers again! Thanks for posting.

If it’s not him, it’s someone doing an impression of him! It’s not even just the voice, but the inflection and intonation as he speaks - that’s him!

I just saw a different one! He must have done a series of them. It’s such a thrill when I’m sitting here, surfing the inter webs and watching the news, when suddenly the dulcet tones of the man I love gently drift unexpectedly through the air. ☺️

I looked them up, and I think there are three commercials with the “Uncommon” theme:

I just turned on the tv to the beautiful sound of Benedict’s voice - talking about liver transplants. There’s yet another commercial!

It’s such an unusual combo, isn’t it? Ben and ads for medical care.

Perhaps he became involved through the cancer charity he sometimes does things for.

Perhaps they just had a shitload of money and wanted Ben’s soothing baritone for their liver transplant ads. 😃

It seems to me a kind of step back: it is one thing to do a commercial in which you are an asset as yourself (like Le Couturier or earlier Dunlop) and another to just read a commercial.
