With two Oscars to his name and a current starring role in one of the most celebrated TV series on the air, Kevin Spacey already has the world at his feet. But it's clear he wants more.

Or at least, so it appears from his advertising work.

We recently looked at the commercials he's done and noticed a theme. He always seems to portray a man of mystery on the hunt—whether playing a secret agent for E*Trade, a power-hungry kingpin for Call of Duty or a man seeking perfection on American Airlines.

Is Spacey being typecast in his ads? Or could he bring a greater range than advertisers give him credit for? Check out the video above, and judge for yourself.
