I got the SAS Airlines commercial when I was in drama school. They would have kicked me out if they found out.
The idea is that I’m lying in bed and I wake up. I'm like, 'Wait a sec, where am I?' I look around and there is this beautiful blonde girl lying beside me and I am like, 'Okay, that's fine.' Then I'm thirsty and hungry. So, I get out of bed naked, go into the kitchen, open up the fridge, drink some milk and eat some eggs. I remember I ate lots of eggs. Next thing, I am like, 'Hang on a sec,' and I turn around, the light switch goes on and her mother is sitting there.





I'm standing there naked with the milk in my hand and there's a plant strategically placed in front of my... you know...
And the line was: "SAS Airlines — When you'd rather be somewhere else." I thought there were some sort of pants that you wear, but it seems they are more at ease with nudity in Sweden than many other countries do... When I was in the rehearsal, I was wearing my boxer shorts and I was asking for something to cover up my... private parts... and they were just like, 'Okay Michael, let's do this one for real, drop the pants.' I was like, 'Okay, here we go.' So I just had to pretend I was in the shower or in the bathroom at home. Yeah, this was kind of a baptism by fire. I got 2,200 pounds for it, and that was my first screen test and my first job."
