Michael J. Anderson as a munchkin in the Acura Super Bowl ad

Shortly after being spotted in the new Nike campaign, Michael J. Anderson makes another appearance in a big brand commercial. Not as his Twin Peaks character this time, but as “the last living Munchkin“, a bribe from Jerry Seinfeld to the man who’s getting the very first Acura NSX. Munchkins, for those who don’t know, are the natives of the fictional Munchkin Country in the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, including The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
