Strong enough for slayers. New Tampax commercial stars Iyari Limon.

if you pay close attention when you catch it, she's the teacher who has to take care of kids on a field trip and throughout the day. I saw it on TV but couldn't find anything on the web.

It would have been better if you had found a link for the ad itself but anyway Iyari's not the only one doing ads post Buffy as you can see from this ad.
Who is that? It kinda looks like Jenny Calendar? I've seen Robia on a Taco Bell ad, Ari Celi in a preview for Nip/Tuck, Katrina (very pregnant) also Taco Bell. That's all I can think of right now. Any other Buffy Alums spotted?
Anybody else seen the Diet Coke ad with Felicia Day (Vi)? She looks very grown-up, but I'm pretty sure it's her. Cute commercial too.

I've also spotted Jack Plotnick (Deputy Mayor Allan Finch) in the new commercial for the BMW Z4.

Larry the Homosexual is in a lot of commercials lately.
Ooh! That's right! I saw Larry in a Best Buy commercial the other day, falling through the floor.
What Taco Bell ad is Robia in?

Oh, and just yesterday afternoon I saw her in the VH1 show "Where are They Now? - Video Vixens." Most fans probably know all about her background already (though admittedly I had no idea), but it was basically all about her stint as a Prince video girl, and then mentioned Buffy only in passing. (She said as soon as she left, the show got hugely popular ... didn't sound too bitter :)
Robia was in two similar Taco Bell ads where a rich couple arrives at a fancy party with a bag of whatever Taco Bell was hyping that week. Robia is one of the party guests who coos with admiration over their choice.

And Amelinda Embry (Katrina) was a pregnant lady on a couch in a Taco bell commercial who wanted her huband to bring her something that was cheesy, crunchy, and spicy. Or something like that.
Cheesy Gordita Crunch...pregnant Katrina sold those well.
I, too, have the seen the Diet Coke commercial with Vi. I also saw her in a commercial for Morgan and Stanley, I think, where she's a young violin player trying to get into Juilliard. But I've only seen it one time.

Also, I've seen Elizabeth Anne Allen (Amy Madison) in a Dove Shampoo commercial. The Dove commercial seems to run constantly, but the specific one with her I've only seen two or three times. Even then, she isn't shown too much.
I don't get to see most of these commercials, but I do regularly spot supporting Buffy/Angel actors in other series and it's always a little freaky. Has anyone ever checked The West Wing against Buffy/Angel?
Felicia Day is also in one of those "talk to your kids about drugs" commercials. You know the one where the kids bitch about their snoopy parents but thank them later?

I also saw George Hertzberg (Adam) in a car commercial. It's the one where the guy is fanatical about keeping his car clean and actually jumps in front of it to keep it from getting something splashed on it.

I have seen Larry Bagby (Larry) in a LOT of commercials. Other than the Best Buy one, I've seen him in a few different car commercials and a couple others where I don't remember the products, just, "Hey! That's Larry!"
yeah, one for sara lee where hes sitting at the kitchen table with his future father-in-law or something.

the Vi diet coke commercial airs constantly in my area. CONSTANTLY, you have no idea..its just..*cries*
Kristine Sutherland (Joyce, Buffy's mom) was featured in a Hoover vacuum commercial.
