I confess I have developed a taste for champagne after a lifelong preference for sparkling cider.

WHAT does this have to do with my casino commercial?

Just that the casino’s advertising executive at the shoot handed me a flute of beautiful, sparkling Cava (Spain’s champagne) as a prop.  And Cava is too delightful to waste.  So I drank my prop.  This may partially explain why I’m the giddiest one in the commercial.

Partially.

One finale note.  If a certain fellow also in the commercial looks familiar, he may be my spousal and commercial partner.
