Culture | Todd Wilkerson is the most famous commercial actor you’ve never seen | Ethan Campbell

“King” at a VH1 Awards show

He has made hundreds of TV appearances on programs like The Tonight Show and ESPN's Sportscenter. He's walked the red carpet at movie premieres, beautiful models on each arm. When he enters a crowded room, the paparazzi shout and cameras flash.

But you've probably never heard of Todd Wilkerson.

"It's all very silly," Wilkerson says. "Being a celebrity would be silly anyway, even if everyone could see my face, but it would be harder for me to see it so clearly."

Wilkerson is the silent man behind fast food's creepiest mascot: the Burger King "King."

You know the commercials. A man wakes up to find a robed, giant-headed monarch sitting in his bed. The King stares for a moment, then offers him a breakfast sandwich.
