Commercials Featuring Star Trek Cast Members

Wouldn't they have had to pay a rather hefty fee to Paramount for the use of the actual characters, uniforms, ship images, etc.?
 
So many people thought they were married in real life - good chemistry. Garner was a big time OU Sooners fan and often on the sidelines of football games (he is from Norman, OK). I'm an OU alum. They did a video tribute to him after his passing at the beginning of one of their home games.

Pretty meaningless aside, but I think he was much better known widely as being a Raiders fan, a fixture on the sidelines and a pal, I think, of Al Davis. Not said to diminish his roots that you are referencing. :)

Back on topic, I just looked at the James Doohan Citibank commercial and it led me to this pretty funny Shatner/Doohan British ad. It may be in the OP's collection but I didn't go back and rewatch it.

That is in the video, it is towards the end in the category of commercials with multiple cast members.
 
Bill certainly did the most commercials. They pay really well, with talent and reuse fees tied to how often it airs.

Nearly 20 minutes of the 38 minute video is commercials only with William Shatner (not counting ones towards the end where he appears with other cast members).
 
Shatner did this in the UK for Thomson.
