It’s been more than a decade since Isaiah Mustafa resonantly charmed his way into the hearts of America through his game-changing 2010 Old Spice ad, “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.”

Now he’s also returning to screens in the United Kingdom, this time in animated form, thanks to a spot from agency Isobel.
