The mans voice doesn’t even sound anywhere near Steve’s voice. Steve has been toting a raspy voice and that I can tell you is not SP. There might be some resemblance, but unless he did a total overhaul lately, not him. And if you want to see what the real SP looks like lately. I hope this works:

I’m sad. I thought he was uber-talented.

1. He’s similar to Steve Perry in height (i.e. not overly blessed in the tallness category).

2. His hair looks even better in person. Truly, top-2%-of-the-population hair.

But then they couldn’t come up with any more creative real drawings, and had to start using animation to stay clever.

I sympathize – those first UPS ads were so good that they were very hard to follow up.

The first round of ads I thought he was a really good artist (which he probably still is). It wasn’t until they began animating his ‘drawings’ that I realized he wasn’t really drawing them live.
