Aug.11, 2006 in Entertainment

Mac Guy Justin Long, the actor who plays the personification of the Macintosh computer in Apple’s “Get a Mac” campaign, speaks to the LA Times about his new-found fame, his career as an actor, and the fact that he had never owned a computer prior to filming the advertisements. What computer does he now own? The answer….won’t surprise you. What surprises me is that he constantly plays a geek, but he didn’t have a computer? Wow!
