James Marsters

Here’s a question to those on my friends list. Who voices the Geico gecko in all those commercials? Mom swears it sounds exactly like James Marsters. I say it does not, and never has. So...if anyone knows, please tell me so Mom won’t say “it’s the Geico gecko!” every time we see Marsters in a show. For the sake of my sanity.

...

Mom just told me that while I’m obviously asking my friends list about this, to also ask everyone when the new season of Amazing Race starts. Anyone know?


ETA: Thank you, everyone!

The almighty internet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geico#The_GEICO_gecko) seems to say that the current voice is Jake Wood, a British comedian. Kelsey Grammar was the original voice.

Oh! Good. I'm not losing my mind. I thought I remembered Kelsey's voice.

Ah, the others beat me to it. Yeah, definitely not James Marsters.

I have beaten to the punch!

I remember looking this up myself when I started watching Torchwood, because the voice before the latest sounded a lot like Burn Gorman. Not him either.
