Re: Re: Re: A Volkswagen commercial with Charlie Chan (circa 1968)

Rush,
TYSM for not only finding this commercial but bringing it to our attention!

I have pulled it up on my Charlie Chan Annex page (click on the link above) along with a youtube.com video of Raul Roulien in a rather long clip of "Orchids in the Moonlight" from "Flying Down to Rio" (1933).

He's the one who plays Max Minchin in "Eran Trace" (1931).

BTW Rush, Do you or anyone know who played Charlie in the commercial? This being a 1968 commercial, He could have played Charlie instead of ROSS MARTIN in RETURN OF CHARLIE CHAN.

Sam,
You can click on the above link to my website and it will take you to my Charlie Chan Annex.

I not only have a link to the video of the VW commercial Rush found but the link is a picture of Marvin Miller plus a brief history of his career.

Enjoy!

I'm not sure of his name, but with the voice and the shape of Charlie's head/face, it suggested to me the fellow in the old TV series "The Millionaire" who went around passing out checks to deserving folks.

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen (or sure don't recall) that VW commercial.

Re: A Volkswagen commercial with Charlie Chan (circa 1968)

I recently came upon the 1968 Charlie Chan Volkswagen TV commercial with Marvin Miller as Charlie Chan. I was wondering if anybody knows the name of the actor who portrays "Number One Son" in the commercial?
