He’s THE voice of Old Navy, impeccably dressed and incessantly suave with a booming, velvety voice. Surprising, since he’s just 12 and a half inches tall - not much bigger than his shiny, silver mic. Starting out as In-Store Announcer, this showman’s showman goes above and beyond his expected duties of touting great clothes at affordable prices by regularly flirting with the ladies in Old Navy. Unfortunately for THE Mike, his incredible voice has the ladies more interested in the great deals than his spiels, prompting him to get back to business before any curious kids can get their hands on him.</p> <p>The set was built in Stage 12 at Universal Studios LA - the 7th largest sound stage in the world. Movies like Scarface, Back to the Future, Batman Returns, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, National Treasure 2 and many more were shot here. I scaled the rickety 5-story staircase (ladder) to get a peek from above, then snuck out to the roof for a view over Universal City.</p>http://blog.ajmusial.com/post/497431387http://blog.ajmusial.com/post/497431387Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:23:59 -0600ajmusialcopywriteraj musialadadvertisinguniversalstage 12the mikeold navyshootset<a href="http://alexbogusky.posterous.com/men-are-from-skylon-4-women-are-from-a-breakf">Thank you for sharing, Mr. Bogusky.
