Maytag on the hunt for its next repairman

Amateur singers across America dream of being the next American Idol. Now, actors have their own competition, as Whirlpool is holding auditions to find the next Maytag repairman. “Whether he’s a professional actor, a non-professional actor, a real-life appliance repairman who has always dreamed of acting or is someone who has an undiscovered acting talent, the new Maytag Repairman will be energetic, young at heart and outgoing,” says Whirlpool’s Jeff Davidoff. “You can expect the character to have a more relevant look and contemporary feel.”
