Lee Van Cleef & Bo Hopkins for Midas Muffler

another great early 1980s commercial for Midas Muffler, produced in Canada and starring Lee Van Cleef, Bo Hopkins, Robert Tessier & John Dennis Johnston.

I don't just miss these commercials...I miss this whole era.

I met Bo Hopkins a year after American Graffiti, which he appeared in, came out. He was shooting an ABC movie about the G-man, Melvin Purvis, near my home. What you saw on the screen is the way he was. Southern accent, quiet voice, but a very cool guy.

At the very end you can hear just a little of Roberto Pregadio’s great spaghetti western theme “Il pistolero dell'Ave Maria”

Is that Robert Tessier?
