Who Are the Actors in Dodge Ram Commercials?
The most recognizable names connected to Dodge and Ram commercials from the last 10 years include Glen Powell, Vin Diesel, Sam Elliott, and Dave Cobb. Each performer represents a different part of the Dodge and Ram advertising identity.
Glen Powell brings modern movie-star charm and action-comedy energy to Ram’s newer truck advertising. Vin Diesel brings muscle-car credibility through his long association with the Fast & Furious franchise. Sam Elliott brings a deep, rugged voice that fits Ram’s truck image. Dave Cobb brings a country-music and working-culture connection to Ram’s lifestyle advertising.
Dodge and Ram commercials do not always use traditional actors in the same way as retail or insurance ads. Many of their commercials rely on voiceover, real drivers, workers, stunt performers, musicians, athletes, truck owners and cinematic vehicle footage. That is why some Dodge Ram commercial performers are celebrities, while others are professional voice artists, background performers or real-life personalities.
Glen Powell in the 2025 Ram Super Bowl Commercial
Glen Powell starred in Ram’s 2025 Big Game commercial, “Drive Your Own Story,” also known as “Goldilocks and the Three Trucks.” The commercial gives the classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears story a rugged truck-themed twist.
Instead of a traditional fairy tale, Powell turns the story into an action adventure involving Ram trucks, a fire-breathing dragon, volcanoes, bears and high-powered driving. The commercial features vehicles such as the Ram 1500 Ramcharger, Ram 2500 Rebel and Ram 1500 RHO.
Powell was a smart casting choice because he had recently become strongly associated with action, charm and vehicles through films such as Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters. His performance makes the Ram commercial feel like a short action-comedy film rather than a standard truck ad.
Vin Diesel in Dodge’s Brotherhood of Muscle Campaign
Vin Diesel appeared in Dodge’s “Brotherhood of Muscle” campaign in 2017. The campaign was built around Dodge performance vehicles such as the Charger, Challenger and Durango, and it connected directly to the muscle-car image Diesel helped popularize through his role as Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious movies.
Diesel’s presence made sense because Dodge and Fast & Furious share a similar cultural identity: speed, power, engines, loyalty, performance and attitude. His gravelly voice and tough screen persona fit the campaign’s message perfectly.
The campaign included commercials such as “Rally Cry,” “Monsters,” “Deep Down,” and other Brotherhood of Muscle spots. For viewers asking, “Who is the actor in the Dodge Brotherhood of Muscle commercial?” the answer is Vin Diesel.
Sam Elliott and the Voice of Ram Trucks
Sam Elliott is one of the most recognizable voices associated with Ram Trucks advertising. His deep, weathered voice has the exact tone many truck brands want: experienced, tough, calm and unmistakably American.
Elliott’s voiceover work gives Ram commercials a Western, working-class and outdoor feeling. Even when he is not physically on screen, his narration can make a truck commercial feel more rugged and cinematic.
Ram commercials have often relied on strong voiceover because trucks are sold through identity as much as features. The voice has to communicate strength, reliability, work ethic and freedom. Sam Elliott’s voice does that almost immediately.
Dave Cobb in Ram Truck People: Country Music
Dave Cobb appeared in Ram’s “Ram Truck People: Country Music” commercial. Cobb is a respected country and Americana music producer known for working with major artists and helping shape a raw, roots-based sound.
His appearance fits Ram’s brand identity because country music and trucks are often connected in American advertising. Ram uses figures like Cobb to connect the brand to real work, real music, craftsmanship and authenticity.
Unlike a fictional spokesperson, Cobb represents a real creative profession. His role in the commercial helps Ram speak to people who value music, craft, independence and a no-nonsense approach to work.
Other Actors and Performers in Dodge and Ram Ads
Many Dodge and Ram commercials also feature unlisted actors, drivers, stunt performers, workers and background performers. A truck commercial may show construction workers, ranchers, families, farmers, small-business owners, mechanics or drivers. A Dodge performance ad may feature racers, passengers, background drivers or stunt specialists.
These performers may not always be publicly credited, but they are important to the commercial. They help create the world around the vehicle. A Ram truck ad needs people who look believable around job sites, roads, ranches and outdoor settings. A Dodge muscle-car ad needs performers who can support the feeling of speed, danger and performance.
Because many automotive commercials focus more on the vehicle than the actor, the performer names are not always easy to find. Celebrity campaigns are easier to identify than standard dealership, sales-event or product-feature commercials.

Dodge vs. Ram Commercials: Why the Casts Feel Different
Dodge and Ram are closely related automotive brands, but their commercials often feel different. Dodge ads usually focus on muscle, speed, power and attitude. Ram ads usually focus on trucks, work, towing, capability, durability and rugged lifestyle.
That difference affects casting. A Dodge commercial benefits from someone like Vin Diesel because he already represents muscle-car culture. A Ram commercial benefits from someone like Sam Elliott because his voice sounds rugged, experienced and trustworthy. Glen Powell works for Ram because he combines action-star energy with humor and modern celebrity appeal.
In other words, Dodge often casts for intensity, while Ram often casts for strength, credibility and freedom. Both brands use performers to make the vehicle feel like more than transportation. The actors help turn the car or truck into an identity.
Why Celebrity Casting Works for Dodge and Ram
Celebrity casting works for Dodge and Ram because vehicles are emotional purchases. People do not buy a muscle car or pickup truck only because of numbers on a spec sheet. They also buy the feeling attached to the vehicle.
Vin Diesel makes Dodge feel connected to street power and movie-style performance. Glen Powell makes Ram feel adventurous, funny and cinematic. Sam Elliott makes Ram feel timeless, rugged and dependable. Dave Cobb makes Ram feel connected to country music, craft and real work.
That is the goal of good automotive advertising. The performer helps translate horsepower, torque, towing and design into a feeling viewers can remember.
Acting Breakdown
The acting in Dodge and Ram commercials depends heavily on tone. Vin Diesel’s Dodge performance works because he brings a serious, intense and loyal energy. He does not need to explain why muscle cars are exciting; his screen image already communicates that.
Glen Powell’s Ram performance is different. He plays the Big Game ad with action-comedy energy. He is charming, exaggerated and playful, turning a truck commercial into a mini adventure. That makes the ad feel larger than a simple product spot.
Sam Elliott’s work is mostly vocal, but it is just as important. His voice gives Ram commercials emotional weight. Dave Cobb’s role works because he brings real-world authenticity rather than fictional character acting. Together, these performers show how Dodge and Ram use different types of performance: celebrity acting, voiceover, real-person storytelling and stunt-based action.
