Pete Rose Inducted into Bad Acting Hall of Fame
By Jorge Barnes | Dealer staff writer    Wed, Apr 6, 2005
 
Pete Rose was inducted into the Bad Acting Hall of Fame on Sunday after appearing in a new Gold Star Chili commercial.

"Dem salads are good," said an awkward Rose, before taking a healthy bite from Gold Star Chili's new South of the Border Chili Salad.

"Cut!" yelled the director after the 4,256th take.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's a wrap. And a new record!" As the studio burst into applause, an unfazed Rose continued to happily eat his salad. Rose unknowingly bested Shaquille O'Neil's 1992 record, where, in a McDonalds commmercial, the oversized basketball star required 4,255 takes to deliver the line: "And I thought I ordered the big breakfisk [sic]."

It is currently unknown whether auto-body repair shop Maaco, who in the 1980's also hired Rose as a spokesman, will invest the $75 appearance fee and 2500 hours of television studio time necessary to shoot a new commmerical with the former Red.
