Actor and writer Tudor Petrut

NEWS from "Gandacul de Colorado" Romanian-American magazine - After a long absence, Romanian-American actor and writer Tudor Petrut returns on the soundstage as the principal in a series of spots for Discover Card. Tudor plays the likeable but inept "Peggy" in the new ad campaign by The Martin Agency. Produced by Harvest Films, the spots were directed by award winning Baker Smith, and photographed by Eric Treml. Writes the Chicago Sun Times: "The new Discover spots make their point via a customer service agent called Peggy, who is actually a he. Peggy is seen in each spot attempting to deal with a customer who has called a financial institution named USA Prime Credit. In each instance, the interaction with Peggy leads to a situation that is both funny and familiar -- at least to anyone who has struggled to get through to -- and then deal with -- a banking representative. It's a tribute to Martin's skills that the shop has managed to make us laugh at what is, in fact, a hugely frustrating experience for so many, namely the decline of customer service."
