The Resume

    (circa 1970- )
    Resides in Yonkers, New York
    Portrayed the kid in the ‘Hey Kid, Catch!’ Coca-Cola commercial with Mean Joe Greene (aired during Super Bowl 1979)

Why he might be annoying:

    Outside of the Coca-Cola commercial, he has only one other acting credential.
    That other credential was a bit part in the 1978 movie ‘If I Ever See You Again.’

Why he might not be annoying:

    The iconic ad portrayed Greene limping in a stadium tunnel after a rough game; Okon, the kid, tells him he is the greatest then offers him a bottle of Coca Cola.
    Greene hesitates to take it but eventually accepts.
    After finishing the drink, Greene shouts ‘Hey Kid! Catch!’ and throws the jersey off his shoulder to Okon.
    Okon reacted with a ‘Wow! Thanks Mean Joe!’
    The ad still remains one of the most iconic and memorable Super Bowl commercials.
    He is a married father of four.
    He runs a stone fabrication company.
    They reunited 36 years later in a filmed reunion.
