I love the ESPN commercial parodies of Being John Malkovich. I'm really annoyed though, because I'm never paying attention when they come on and I always miss who these people are "being". Could someone help me out? These are the ones I know of:

Guy sitting on couch - Being Rasheed Wallace
Guy in shower - ?
Guy dancing with a woman - Being Mike Modano
Guy in clothing store - ?

are there more?

"Being Rasheed's a lot better than being Doug!"

I believe the guy in the shower is Steve McNair, but I could be wrong.
I didn't know there were four...the only other one I saw was a guy dancing with a kid saying, "I feel kinda..." (Mike Modano), and I've never seen that one from the begining.

I believe the Rasheed Wallace one was the first one of the series. I think you are probably right about the Steve McNair one. I believe she says something along the lines of, "He really is a Titan!", and then mentions the name Steve. The thing that always threw me was I thought she was saying, "He really is a Tiger!", and I coulnd't think of any stars for the Detroit Tigers named Steve and Tiger Woods was automatically excluded because his name is Edrich or something like that.

Can someone confirm this one for sure?

The guy in the clothing store is Manny Ramirez of the Boston Red Sox.

Haven't seen the shower one.
