Creativity Online: Was William H. Macy’s Star-Studded Samsung Galaxy Ad Real or Just a VR Simulation?

In its new ad for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, Samsung shows a series of consumers asking a series of questions such as: “Why can’t my battery last long enough to navigate me through these scary woods?,” says a guy wandering through scary woods with a phone that, sadly, is not a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge.

And then things get even more specific. For instance, “Why can’t my phone have a enough memory to hold all 145 of my movies – like that one with the action and the martial arts?” Recognise that guy? It’s Wesley Snipes, who joins a variety of stars, including William H Macy, in making wry cameo appearances.
