Not so fast. Nothing wrong with what he did. I bet the contract said Kevin Butler couldn't be in any other commercials. It makes no sense that Jerry Lambert can't appear in any other commercial ever.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bridgestone has now responded to those claims, saying "Mr. Lambert is one of the actors who appeared in the commercial as a Bridgestone engineer. Bridgestone denies that 'Kevin Butler' appears in the Bridgestone commercial discussed herein and thus denies that he speaks or does anything whatsoever in the commercial." Bridgestone will reportedly fight the suit on the grounds that Sony does not actually own a trademark for the Kevin Butler character, and that “the character has not acquired secondary meaning and that there is no likelihood of confusion among consumers.”
