What’s up with the kid in the Verizon FiOS commercials? In the first spot, he doesn’t do much except stand there with a puzzled look on his face, then tells the FiOS guy that he has a “nice truck.” In the follow-up, he gets to say a whole lot more. It’s nothing out of the ordinary, but there is something compelling about him. In any case, people love him. A typical exchange on an Internet message board: “So who is the adorable kid in the Verizon FiOS commercials?” “I have no idea who he is, but I think he is going to be the next big male child star.”
