In St. Louis in the 1990s, Thom Sharp was the funniest guy in St. Louis – even if no one knew Thom Sharp's name. The comedian and actor starred as “The Boatmen's Guy” in numerous clever commercials for Boatmen's Bank. His dry wit while appearing in silly situations made him so popular that when the bank was merged with another, our newspaper created a “Save The Boatmen's Guy” campaign. Sharp joined Benjamin Hochman on his podcast “Hosted Ravioli” to discuss what made the commercials so great. Sharp – who says he's not bald, but instead just “outgrew his hair” – also shares acting stories from the set of “The Golden Girls” and other 90s sitcoms.
