Q: Who is the woman singing in the train on the Heineken beer commercial?

Gin WigmoreDave Walker, North Dartmouth, Mass.

That’s New Zealand singer/songwriter Gin Wigmore, 26, who sings her hit song Man Like That. She appears with James Bond himself, Skyfall’s Daniel Craig, in the 007-inspired Heineken ad. (While you’d expect somebody named “Gin” to appear in something involving alcohol, it’s actually short for Virginia.) Man Like That is from her 2011 album, Gravel & Wine, and Wigmore has had several other songs make cameos on the small screen, including in episodes of 666 Park Avenue, Grey’s Anatomy and Weeds as well as in AMC’s annual Halloween-tinged FearFest, which used her tune Kill of the Night as its theme song.
