    He damn sure knows how to market himself.

    There are guys in bodybuilding who have tried for decades to get the commercial appeal he has made without even being a serious competitor.

    People underestimate him but he slowly is getting recognition.

    It is truly because most bodybuilders looked out of touch. This guy add's a little "ghetto" style to it (like how he just mixed his food...which I most say it was pretty cleaver), uses cheaper foods, and most importantly has a sense of humor and connection. Most bodybuilders can't make a connection with people (like what a good sales person can do).

    I think his overall demeanor has a huge impact, and it's what has allowed him to get so many commercial spots. If he were cultivating the usual "I need attention" persona that I think many BBers do, I don't think he'd be doing as well as he is.

    I agree. I know his prison background seems to make him more down to Earth than you would normally see. He was on a documentary about people just out the pen.

    I honestly hope he blows the doors off the celebrity train and ends up in an Expendables sequel.

    That could happen.

    Tom Cruise starred in Jack Reacher in 2012. One of the bad guys was Vladimir Sizov.

    That would be something to watch.

    One thing is for sure, he sure can hustle. I've said it before but there is only a few mistakes separating the guy making money selling drugs and the guy selling Ferraris. If they're selling, they're hustling.
