Jeremy Piven was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and he told the ABC host that his father played the famous River Boat Captain in the Uncle Ben’s Rice commercial back in the ’70s and ’80s. I can understand why as a teen he would be embarrassed, but I think it would be cool to have him in my own personal Entourage.
Take a look at one of the commercials his father Byrne starred in and see if you can notice the resemblance. I think it is as obvious as white on rice.
