O.K. I have a bet with a co-worker about the guy who played principal Dennis Martino in "Ed" and the politician that Carrie dates in "Sex and the City". I was able to find his name with Google, John Slattery.

Here's the question...is he the same guy in those "Nexium" commercials. Some purple pill for acid-reflux or something. I think it's the same guy. My co-worker doesn't believe me. I need proof.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think that it is him, but I have no proof. He costars in Jack & Bobby now as the head master of the college where their mother works.

John Slattery is not in the Nexium commercials. That's James Naughton.

Thanks for your help. Looks like I lost the bet.

That guy will always be "Principal Jackass" to me. (see Ed threads of the past)

Anytime he pops up, "Hey, it's 'principal jackass'!!!!".....and take a drink.
