Thanks Dustin!
I just called the number and the voice mailbox for Toby Jones was full. Here's his website and below is his commercial. This is actually part of the sketch comedy troop, Big Dog Eat Child.

FLYING SNAKE
Thanks Andrew Hudec!
Check out this creepiness!
According to National Geographic:
The image of airborne snakes may seem like the stuff of nightmares (or a certain Hollywood movie), but in the jungles of South and Southeast Asia it is reality.
Flying snake is a misnomer, since, barring a strong updraft, these animals can’t actually gain altitude. They’re gliders, using the speed of free fall and contortions of their bodies to catch the air and generate lift.
Once thought to be more parachuters than gliders, recent scientific studies have revealed intricate details about how these limbless, tube-shaped creatures turn plummeting into piloting. To prepare for take-off, a flying snake will slither to the end of a branch, and dangle in a J shape. It propels itself from the branch with the lower half of its body, forms quickly into an S, and flattens to about twice its normal width, giving its normally round body a concave C shape which can trap air. By undulating back and forth, the snake can actually make turns. Flying snakes are technically better gliders than their more popular mammalian equivalents, the flying squirrels.
There are five recognized species of flying snake, found from western India to the Indonesian archipelago. Knowledge of their behavior in the wild is limited, but they are thought to be highly arboreal, rarely descending from the canopy. The smallest species reach about 2 feet (61 centimeters) in length and the largest grow to 4 feet (1.2 meters).
Their diets are variable depending on their range, but they are known to eat rodents, lizards, frogs, birds, and bats. They are mildly venomous snakes, but their tiny, fixed rear fangs make them harmless to humans.
Scientists don’t know how often or exactly why flying snakes fly, but it’s likely they use their aerobatics to escape predators, to move from tree to tree without having to descend to the forest floor, and possibly even to hunt prey.
One species, the twin-barred tree snake, is thought to be rare in its range, but flying snakes are otherwise quite abundant and have no special conservation status.

CHORES
Hey! I love chores. There's no better way to spend any amount of time than by doing a mean set of chores. I don't even call them chores. No, rather I call them hobbies. My favourite hobby, and no lie, is hanging the laundry on the clothesline in the summer time. It's just me, the sun and a pile of damp laundry. Talk about living!
My friend Scotty from film school has been working as a sound guy on the Jon Dore Show and Scotty knows just how much I love chores and getting angry so he sent me this relevant clip:

LOVE BOAT: THE MOVIE
So a little while back my buddy John Dryden and I were in some negotiations to bring a number of older TV shows to the big screen. We developed a whole wack of shows into movies and are quite proud of our work. Dukes of Hazzard, Burger King: The Movie, Starsky & Hutch, Charlies Angels, Rubic's Cube: The Awakening of Na'mythryl Zarxapnph and Alien Vs. Lavern Vs. Shirley Vs. Predator, are just some of the movies we produced, wrote, edited, directed and craft serviced. Well it turns out that we're all ready to begin to sail off into yet another remake/update TV-to-Movie: The Love Boat. Here's what John's email had to say:
I spoke with several agents today about our new project. Everyone seemed quite excited, however, there were some "availability issues" with some of our choices. Bruce Willis is currently working On something very "Hush-hush". From what I was able to figure, it's something where him and his teenage daughter get switched into each others bodies, and obviously, hilarity will ensue. Come to think of it, the movie may actually be called Hush Hush. Randy Quaid is also unavailable due to his role in Coaches, a movie about high school football coaches. ( I had that same idea months ago!). Finally I got a call back from Willis's agent, who also represents Steven Colbert! I guess there is a bit of a buzz about our thing and Colbert is practically begging to be Doc! Pam Anderson is still unconfirmed. I spoke with her directly, and she loves the idea of bringing Julie McCoy to the big screen, but she has to discuss it with her agent. She told me she wants a stab at writing ala Edward "The Gamma-man" Norton. Sounds sketchy so just in case, I have a call in to Renee Zelweger's people as well. Micheal Bay just text-messaged me saying that he is interested, but wants co-producing credits and wants freedom of re-writes. Let's discuss our options. Lemme know when you wanna go in for 2-for-1 botox. Last time was very fun! Ta for now! Oh! One more thing. I may have found a buyer for our Booze Werewolf script "Booze Werewolf." You know, the one about the Werewolf that's really into booze? I'll give you a hint as to who it is: His name rhymes with Gendichio Bell Sorrow.
Cast thus far:
Patrick Stewart - Capt. Merrell Stubing, ship's Captain
Will Smith - Isaac, the bar-man
Luke Wilson - 'Gopher', ship's steward
Pamela Anderson - Julie McCoy, cruise director
Steven Colbert - 'Doc', ship's doctor, ladies' man
