A Fort Frances man is hoping his appearance in a recent Mazda commercial will help advance his career.
Roy Tighe appears in the commercial that has been airing since August.
Speaking from Los Angeles, Tighe says he was supposed to be in a different car ad.
"The first commercial I booked was with Mercedes," says Tighe. "Four hours before we filmed it they replaced me. I just kept going to auditions and all of a sudden I got an audition for this one."
Tighe says he's using the money to fund a documentary about comedian Richard Lett he's hoping to debut at film festivals next year.
