Bleujayone Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 In a twist of irony, Nigel Thatch also has a career in acting. The most memorable part has got to be the part of "Leon" the selfish professional athelete (modeled after T.O.) in in Budweiser beer commercials. You might have seen some of them.His character's slogan is "I ain't playin' unless someone is payin.'"Fitting that he be traded for Budweiser.Nigel Thatch's IMDb acting bio"Leon" Budweiser SiteHerbal Tea Time for LeonNigel Thatch? Never heard of him! We all have our little faults. Mine's in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Looks like the role of Leon has goen to his head a bit if he thinks he can try a Minor League Career. He's not allowed to pursue a dream just because he starred in some commercials? How does his "character" have to do with his character?
