  • A: (Stuart Elliott) The actor is named Ajay Mehta, according to Pete Johnson, creative director at the agency for General Mills cereals, which is Saatchi & Saatchi in New York, part of the Publicis Groupe. Mr. Mehta "is indeed of Indian descent," Mr. Johnson says, and for more information, you can visit his Web site (ajaymehta.tv). Mr. Mehta "was our first choice throughout casting" for the Fiber One spot, Mr. Johnson says, because "his diction, his poise and his gravitas allow him to deliver a lot of information in an entertaining and engaging way." By the way, Mr. Mehta is playing not merely the manager of a single store, Mr. Johnson says, but the regional manager — "an important distinction if you ask him."
