  • Who Is the Actor on the WeatherTech Commercial?

    Uncovering the face behind the “Whatever Comes Your Way” ad

    (By Carmichael Phillip)


  • The Super Bowl Spot: What We Know

    The 2025 WeatherTech ad campaign — especially the “Whatever Comes Your Way” spot broadcast during the Super Bowl — leans heavily into visuals of spirited older women (often dubbed “Golden Girls” or “cougars” in coverage) hitting the road, dancing, having fun, and defying expectations.

    Because the ad is more ensemble and character-driven rather than focused on a single lead, identifying a single “actor” is somewhat tricky. But several sources have shed light on one notable cast member.


  • Kathleen “Bunny” Gibson: Bandstand Star Turned Ad Lead

    One clear name that surfaced in media coverage is Kathleen “Bunny” Gibson, a former dancer on American Bandstand.

    In the Super Bowl 2025 ad, Gibson plays a character named “Betty,” driving a convertible along the Pacific Coast Highway with three other women.

    She appears in moments singing “Get your motor runnin’” (opening lines of Born to Be Wild) and has cited her excitement at being in the commercial.

    Gibson’s performance is one of the few named, personal roles that got media recognition. The commercial’s ensemble nature, however, suggests other actors are involved but less publicly credited.


  • The Ensemble & Supporting Cast

    While Bunny Gibson is the most cited individual, the ad is dominated by a quartet of women in their 70s — part of the “Golden Girls going wild” motif.

    Beyond them, few individual credits are publicly documented. Many publications note that actors were not officially identified in the WeatherTech campaign.

    In iSpot’s listing for the 2025 Sport spot, the “Actors – Add” section is blank, indicating that they had not been added or confirmed in the public registry.

    On a different front, Stewart Talent Chicago posted a social media shoutout that actor Luke Kosek is featured in a WeatherTech commercial.

    This suggests that multiple smaller roles or alternate WeatherTech spots may include identifiable actors besides the Super Bowl ensemble.


  • Voiceover & Off-Camera Talent

    Another dimension to uncover is who handles the voiceover, narration, or off-screen elements in WeatherTech ads.

    One interesting mention is Glenn Rockowitz, an American actor, comedian, and voice actor, who is credited with providing voiceovers in some WeatherTech campaigns.

    He is not explicitly tied to the 2025 “Whatever Comes Your Way” spot, but his past affiliation with WeatherTech voiceovers suggests he could have been involved in prior or supporting versions.

    As a reminder, voice talent is often not visually credited or emphasized in commercials, making confirmation harder.


  • Why So Few Names? Advertising Strategy & Secrecy

    There are a few likely reasons many cast members remain unnamed:

    Ensemble storytelling: The commercial is more about vibe and concept (older women breaking norms, protected by WeatherTech gear) than individual star recognition.

    Contract & licensing issues: Not all actors in commercials get credited in public ad databases unless disclosed by the brand or agents.

    Focus on brand, not personas: The intention is to highlight the product and brand identity rather than personalities.

    Delayed or non-public crediting: Some actors or their reps may not push for inclusion in ad registries, or credits may be withheld for exclusivity.

    As evidence, iSpot’s listing for the ad shows “Actors – Add” still blank, implying credits were not formally published.

    Conclusion

    So, who is the actor on the WeatherTech commercial? The best-documented answer is Kathleen “Bunny” Gibson, who plays “Betty” in the “Whatever Comes Your Way” Super Bowl ad.

    But she is part of an ensemble cast of older women whose names mostly remain uncredited.

    Other actors, like Luke Kosek, appear to have roles in other WeatherTech spots.

    Voice talent such as Glenn Rockowitz has been affiliated with past WeatherTech campaigns.
