Christoph Waltz, the Academy Award-winning actor who is best known for his roles in Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' and 'Django Unchained,' recently stared in a cinematic commercial that promotes the new Samsung phone.
Titled 'Busy, Busy, Busy,' the ad follows Christoph Waltz as he juggles a vast variety of different roles -- dressing in drag to be a stay-at-home mom, performing as a world record-breaking runner, the employee of the month at a car dealership and even Abraham Lincoln. All the while, the actor is shown with the new Samsung phone at his side, attributing the 'Galaxy Note 7' as the device that helps him do it all.
With this, the company humorously depicts the versatility and accessibility of its phone, while simultaneously making clear the high-definition display and its many features with a series of close-ups.
