Dave Leonard, Director, looks on as they shoot a segment of a commercial for Taco Time at the West Seattle Taco Time location on 35th S.W. Comedic actor Pat Cashman is at right.
Taco Time Northwest chose Saturday, December 20th despite the cold weather, ice and snow, to shoot part of a new series of commericals at the West Seattle Taco Time at Fauntleroy and 35th and they even had to de-ice the parking lot first.
The spots are promoting a new Taco Bowl product from the company and are being produced by Dave Leonard Creative. You might recognize the "Ned the Cactus" too. Contrary to what you might think, he's not a costume. Ned is a foam rubber creation, but he does enjoy the drive through.
"These spots are scheduled to run soon so they had to be produced now to get them on the air," said Leonard.
Cashman is the long term comedic character actor in the Taco Time commercials, familiar to Seattle viewers from his years on the KING 5 show "Almost Live" which can still be seen at 1 AM following Saturday Night Live.
The spots are set to air in the next few weeks.
