Grant Hill was a celebrated basketball player, coming out of Duke University 20 years ago and breaking into the NBA with the Detroit Pistons. But a nagging ankle injury a few years into his career must've been more serious than even he expected, and spent the rest of his big league days in relative obscurity among three teams. He retired just last year, but his appearance in this commercial is my favorite among an awesome set of AT&T commercials. Oh, good for you obviously taps that relative obscurity.
Milana Vayntrub is the actress who plays the AT&T sales lady Lily Adams. She's articulate and attractive in very natural, unforced ways, and that's her appeal. I found out that she's actually a comedic actress, and a good one at that, because she pulls off terrific timing and delivery on her lines. Her humor is of course subtle and demure, because of her business role for AT&T. But here she is in a more colorful sketch in Bitchy Resting Face.
