As the “Old Spice Shopping Network” makes its return, so does its determined—and somewhat omnipresent— salesman and celebrated odor analyst, Bob Giovanni.

This recent continuation of the 2016 campaign marks the return of Canadian actor Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead, Snowpiercer) as the over-the-top salesman who works overtime to represent Old Spice’s shower gels, sprays, shampoos and deodorants.
