This year, unlike many other years, I have decided to watch some of the NBA playoffs on television. Because of this, I have gotten to see over and over again the same Kia Optima ads featuring Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers (pictured above). It struck me that Blake Griffin sounds remarkably like someone I'd heard before, and, after a little research, I was able to figure it out.
First, here is one of the commercials. Listen to grown-up version of Blake.
Second, here is the opening scene of the 1998 movie Rushmore. Listen to the math teacher (starting around 0:38).
Clearly, the two men sound almost exactly alike. The only question is-- why?
