D.C. Douglas Ascends to Brojo Master
Yes, it’s true. After two decades of commercial abstinence, D.C. Douglas has returned to the world of advertising—this time not as a faceless alien mask or a fleeting chin stroking a cat, but as something far more profound: your one and only Brojo Master.
The Rarest of Comebacks
D.C. swore off commercials long ago. His résumé in that arena? A FedEx spot in which he was literally hidden behind an alien face mask, and a Purina cat food ad where only his chin and petting hand received any glory. Hollywood’s version of a “Where’s Waldo?” career move.
So what would coax him back after twenty years? A script so delightfully absurd and brilliantly executed that he couldn’t resist. The idea was strange, the humor was sharp, and the style was cinematic. It had all the markings of an oddball adventure worth boarding a plane for.
The Audition: Reeves Meets Middle-earth
At the audition, the creative team at Creatably said they were looking for something “a little like Keanu Reeves.” Naturally, D.C. obliged—three times over. First, he gave them a subtle Keanu. Then, a wildly over-the-top Keanu. Finally, he offered his own invention: a dramatic, almost Tolkien-esque Lord of the Rings take. The decision was unanimous—they went with the out-of-the-box fantasy version. Thus, the Brojo Master was born.
The Utah Dash
The shoot itself was a blink-and-you-miss-it odyssey. D.C. flew into Utah on a Thursday night, filmed all day Friday, and was back in Los Angeles before Saturday morning cartoons had even started. “I knew my chin had peaked in the Purina spot,” he quips, “but Brojo was destiny.”
Enter Creatably
Based in Provo, Utah, Creatably has made a reputation for turning marketing into something that feels more like entertainment than advertising. They specialize in creating campaigns that are funny, cinematic, and impossible to forget. Which is exactly how they lured D.C. back into the strange and beautiful circus of commercials.
The Brojo Awakens
The result? A gloriously tongue-in-cheek commercial featuring D.C. as the Brojo Master—a title he neither applied for nor studied to obtain, yet now wears with suspicious authority. Its comedy meets commerce, wrapped in robes of surreal self-importance. Or, to put it simply: it’s exactly the kind of oddball twist that has followed him through his peculiar career trajectory.
A Career of Oddities
Of course, this isn’t the first time D.C. has ventured into the land of the unusual. Years ago, he filmed in-house training videos where he acted opposite a miniature cartoon version of himself. It was the kind of corporate fever dream that lives forever in HR departments, and fans still send him messages saying they’ve seen his animated doppelgänger during their workplace orientations. The last time he had this much fun on a shoot may very well have been back then.
From voicing villains in Resident Evil and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure to dying in Sharknado 2 by literally everything except a shark, D.C. has never taken the straight path. Adding “Brojo Master” to the list just cements his reputation as a connoisseur of career curveballs.

Inside you’ll find his appearance on The Dating Game, a bizarre IVR voiceover session conducted in his booth, a turn as a disturbingly sensual Colonel Sanders, a moment of Olympic-level nudity with a pool dive, and the unforgettable “twerking as Legion” from Mass Effect. It’s chaos, comedy, and confessions rolled into one strange corner of the internet.
Final Words From the Brojo Temple
So the next time someone asks what D.C. Douglas has been up to lately, you can whisper with great solemnity: “He has become the Brojo Master.” And then laugh, because frankly, it’s ridiculous—and that’s the point.
