There’s a moment in Celtics guard Derrick White’s new Boston Beer Co. commercial in which the fictional character “Your Cousin from Boston” elicits White’s help.
“I can’t tell you what it is and you can never ask me about it later,” says the actor, referencing the Boston-based movie “The Town.”
With polished comedic timing, White deadpans, “Whose car are we gonna take?”
White’s sense of humor and acting instincts come through in his three Samuel Adams commercials to date, including one in which he “buys” a duck boat to celebrate the Celtics’ championship. He seemed a bit less comfortable Friday night, at least at first, introducing his new beer, (Derrick) White Ale, to the media.
