John Turturro Heineken Commercials

I am not a fan of Heineken.

I am, however, a fan of their current series of commercials featuring Hollywood actor John Turturro. Turturro has become one of my favorite actors in recent years mainly due to his spectacular range in the types of roles he plays. He has the gravitas to pull off serious roles like the Jewish game show contestant Herbie Stempel on Quiz Show or creepy killer Jim Shooter in Secret Window. (He also played the title role in Barton Fink and had a part in Miller's Crossing.)

At the same time, he has an incredible sense of humor which comes across in roles like over-the-top bowler Jesus Quintana in The Big Lebowski, Pete in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and Agent Simmons in Transformers. (He's also been featured in a lot of Adam Sandler films as of late, including Mr. Deeds, Anger Management, and most recently, You Don't Mess With the Zohan.)

As big a fan as I am of John Turturro, I was understandably happy to see him featured in two commercials for Heineken. While I don't necessarily like the product, I think he's brilliant at selling it! Check it out!
