The first of the recent "catch phrase" ads, the commercials featured a pathological liar who would make any claim just so he could get his hands on some Bud Light. For example, the obviously white man - played by Eddie Jemison, who has gone on to star as techno-thief Livingston Dell in the George Clooney/Brad Pitt "Ocean's 11" trilogy - is asked if he is Dr. Lee, an Asian man for whom a reception stocked with Bud Light, is being held. The man replies, "Yes, I am."

While the footlights provide satisfaction, Jemison says TV commercials are paying the rent. His best-known work to date is the Wheaties commercial with Michael Jordan. The diminutive, curly-haired Jemison provides a comic foil for Jordan, as he taunts the Chicago Bulls basketball star at a practice gym, challenging him to a game of one-on-one. "Come on Michael. You and me. Right now," Jemison's character squeaks, casually flipping the ball up in the air. Jordan looks down at Jemison and deadpans the camera. As it turns out, his challenge to Jordan is for a game of basketball tiddly-winks, free inside specially marked boxes of Wheaties. A similar commercial involving Jemison and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana is also running.
Then there's Jemison, the slight, wonderfully graceful, endlessly animated young actor who played Studs Terkel so memorably in an otherwise forgettable show at Northlight last season. Jemison has a face that sparkles like Italian Christmas lights. And he brings precisely the right kind of deft comic energy to his role that should have marked the entire production. He dances, while nearly everyone else plods. He can even wear a top hat with style.
and Eddie Jemison, who has a touch of comic madness in him, proves once again that there are no small parts.
Weasel, with a scuzzy little beard and a polyester print shirt, is illiterate poor white trash. Yet as played by that most enchanting comic actor Eddie Jemison (best known for his portrayal of the young Studs Terkel two seasons ago at Northlight), his mind seems to be working a hundred miles a minute.
