Okay, here’s my breakdown of trying to figure out who that McCormick commercial actress is, sharing my whole process like I’m talking to a friend.
Alright, so it started like this. I’m watching TV, right? And this McCormick commercial comes on. There’s this actress in it, and I’m like, “I know I’ve seen her somewhere before!” It was driving me nuts.
First thing I did, naturally, was grab my phone. I tried to Shazam it, thinking maybe they’d list the cast. No dice. Shazam only picked up the music, which, honestly, wasn’t helpful. I wasn’t looking for the jingle.
So, next up: Google. I typed in “McCormick commercial actress” – super generic, I know. Got a bunch of articles about McCormick’s ad campaigns, but nothing specific about the actress I was looking for. It was all very high-level marketing stuff. Useless!
I tried to narrow it down with some more specific keywords. Things like “McCormick commercial actress 2024” and “McCormick spice commercial actress smiling”. Still nothing concrete. A bunch of forum posts asking the same question, and the answers were all guesses.
Okay, time for a different approach. I figured, maybe someone had uploaded the commercial to YouTube. So, I went to YouTube and searched for “McCormick commercial”. Scrolled through a ton of them. Finally, I found a recent one. Watched it. Nope, not the one I was thinking of.
I kept digging. I started looking at the comments sections of the YouTube videos. Sometimes people ask these kinds of questions in the comments. Bingo! Someone had asked who the actress was. And someone else replied with a name. They said it was “probably” [Hypothetical actress name].
I took that name and Googled it. [Hypothetical actress name] actress. Found an IMDb page. Looked at her credits. She was in a few TV shows and movies I’d heard of, but I still wasn’t totally sure if it was her.
I then started searching for interviews or articles that might mention her involvement with McCormick. It was tough because “McCormick” is such a common word. But, after a bunch of digging, I found a blog post that listed her as one of the actresses who had appeared in McCormick commercials. It was an older post, but it confirmed that she had, at least at some point, worked with them.
So, was it her in this particular commercial? I still wasn’t 100% certain. What I did next was to use the info that the blog mentioned, I googled the name of the commercial and mccormick together, and started filtering the images. I found a side by side photo someone had did of [Hypothetical actress name] and a screen grab of the commercial, and by gosh, that was her!
- My conclusion for my search process:
- Start broad, then narrow your search. Generic searches are good for getting a feel, but you gotta get specific.
- YouTube comments are goldmines. Seriously, people ask and answer everything there.
- IMDb is your friend. Cross-reference credits to jog your memory.
- Don’t give up! It took me a good hour to track her down.
So there you have it. My very exciting journey to find out who that McCormick commercial actress was. Hope this helps you if you’re ever on a similar quest!
