Good eye! Dennis Haysbert, he of the commanding voice, is not only the man in the Allstate ads, but he also co-starred as baseballer Pedro Cerrano in Major League and its first sequel. The former star of The Unit and 24, who is a car buff and certified deep-sea diver in real life, recently filmed the bigscreen drama LUV with Danny Glover and actor/rapper Common.

Dennis Haysbert also starred in a TV series called Now and Again, where he played a Dr. who When Michael Wiseman is killed in a tragic subway accident, the U.S. government covertly makes him an offer he can’t refuse; they “keep his brain alive” and place it into a new, genetically bio-engineered body. The doctor (Dennis Haysbert) in charge of the experiment has grand plans for him, but all Michael wants to get back to his grieving wife and daughter. For security reasons, the government forbids such contact… not that Michael is going to let that stop him.
Haysbert, of course also played President Palmer on “24″.
