It's certainly feasible after all advertising has had actors portraying 
doctors, actors with manipulative voices posturing for brokers, real 
estate, medicines, etc. And famous football players appear in 
automobile ads although I don't see what they to do with the quality of 
the car.

Advertising is designed to appeal to the easily led mind and one that 
is beaten into submission by constant repetition and perhaps for those 
desperately seeking a life. (Man, what a summary.)
