From GANDACUL DE COLORADO Romanian-American magazine - After a self imposed sabbatical, Romanian-born star Tudor Petrut returned in the limelight as the principal in a several years long commercial campaign for Discover Card. Tudor portrayed the popular, likeable but inept character Peggy in various commercials imagined 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." TV Squad picked Transfer as one of the "Top 10 Commercials of 2010", and Fox Business includes the ads among the "Ten Best Credit Card Commercial Campaigns" of all time. READ BELOW!
