New advertising push this year featuring Keanan Thompson (English) and Arturo Castro (Spanish, 'Dejate Whoa').







Also UOR and UHS have new branding on their Twitter profiles.

(This is the filming that TPU thought meant an SNL thing was coming to CityWalk)

Ah yes, so this is what Kenan was on property for. Oh well, wish it was an SNL thing haha. I'll take it though if Kenan is going to be in more Universal commercials! Dude has been a part of Nickelodeon/NBCUniversal stuff forever, he's a perfect person to market their theme parks.
 
 
Not aware if drag is Spanish Kenan's specialty, but clearly that ad was not intended to play in America lol, or maybe that guy is famous for playing woman? If he's doing his characters, couldn't we have gotten Kenan's "Whats Up With That?" character, or Steve Harvey?

Arturo Castro is not “Spanish Kenan.” He’s another comedic actor, recently featured on Broad City and Alternatino.

Spanish version wins

When describing the language, it’s Spanish. When describing a person, “Spanish” would be their place of origin. So someone could say Antonio Banderas is “Spanish Sean Connery” or something if you were looking for a comparison. Though it wouldn’t work as he’s an actor in America, but I think you understand the point.
Arturo Castro is Guatemalan. And he was more of a “Guatemalan Carson Daily” before he started his work in America.

Found a vid with "outtakes" of the campaign, they filmed a whole lot more than they showed so I expect exclusive USH and UOR ads along with alternative cuts.
