Table information compiled from Chase official campaign pages, Chase YouTube listings, iSpot listings, Adweek, Campaign Live, and other coverage of Chase credit-card and banking campaigns.
The most recognizable current Chase commercial actor is Kevin Hart.
Hart appears across multiple Chase campaigns, including Chase Freedom Unlimited, Cashback Like a Pro, and community-banking spots. iSpot lists “Putting the Hart in Your Local Community” as a JPMorgan Chase TV spot featuring Kevin Hart, where he visits a Chase branch, interacts with bankers, and uses the Chase app.
Chase also uses Hart in a family-focused credit-card education series for Chase Freedom Rise, where the official Chase page says viewers can watch Kevin Hart teach his daughter Heaven about credit-card basics.
Hart works for Chase because he can make financial topics feel more approachable. Credit cards, banking apps, and cashback rewards can sound dry, but Hart brings humor, speed, and personality to the message.
Stephen Curry and A’ja Wilson are two of the biggest sports stars in recent Chase commercials.
Chase’s official Cashback Like a Pro page identifies Curry, Wilson, and Kevin Hart as the campaign’s “starting lineup.” The campaign uses basketball language to explain cashback rewards, making the card benefits feel like a sports strategy rather than a finance lecture.
Adweek also reported that A’ja Wilson joined Stephen Curry and Kevin Hart in Chase’s “Cashback Like a Pro” ad, describing the campaign as part of Chase’s NBA and WNBA investment.
That pairing gives Chase both NBA and WNBA credibility. Curry brings global basketball fame, Wilson brings championship-level women’s basketball visibility, and Hart adds comedy.
Chase has also leaned into holiday nostalgia and pop-culture comedy.
The Chase Freedom Unlimited commercial “Kevins” features Kevin Hart, Kevin Garnett, Macaulay Culkin, and Catherine O’Hara. iSpot describes the spot as a playful ad in which O’Hara comes across a group of “Kevins,” including Hart, Garnett, and Culkin.
The casting is clever because it uses Home Alone nostalgia through Culkin and O’Hara while also keeping the “Kevin” joke going with Hart and Garnett. For Chase, that turns a cashback message into a holiday entertainment moment.
Country artist Ella Langley appears in Chase Sapphire Reserve advertising.
Chase’s official YouTube listing for “Sapphire Reserve | Steak Lover by Ella Langley” says viewers can “dine like Ella Langley” with Chase Sapphire Reserve, highlighting a dining credit and access to Reserve-exclusive tables.
iSpot also lists “Bucket List” as a Chase Sapphire Reserve TV spot featuring Ella Langley.
Langley’s casting fits Chase Sapphire Reserve’s lifestyle positioning. The brand is not only selling a card; it is selling dining access, travel experiences, and the feeling of living a more curated life.
Chase Sapphire Reserve has also used entertainment figures in more comedic and lifestyle-driven ads.
iSpot lists “Franklin by Ben Stiller” as a Chase Sapphire Reserve TV spot, while The Hollywood Reporter noted that Ben Stiller and Erin Foster were among the stars featured in a Sapphire Reserve campaign.
Chase’s official YouTube listing for “Staycation by The Foster Sisters” says viewers can “travel like Erin and Sara Foster” with Chase Sapphire Reserve.
These ads show how Chase uses celebrity lifestyle content to make premium-card benefits feel more personal. Instead of presenting a list of perks, the campaign lets recognizable personalities model the experiences.
Chase has also used a star-heavy approach for its Sapphire travel campaigns.
Campaign Live reported that Chase’s “Same Planet More World” campaign featured Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Awkwafina, and Mark Ronson. The campaign promoted Chase Sapphire through the idea that the world still offers more experiences, even to people who may already travel often.
This type of casting makes sense for Chase Sapphire. Union and Wade bring celebrity-couple appeal and sports/entertainment crossover power. Awkwafina brings comedy and cultural relevance. Mark Ronson brings music and nightlife energy. Together, they make Chase Sapphire feel connected to travel, culture, dining, and premium experiences.
Serena Williams has also been connected to Chase campaigns.
The Shorty Awards’ write-up for Chase’s “Show Me Your Walk” campaign says the live commencement event was hosted by Chase ambassadors Kevin Hart, Serena Williams, and Stephen Curry.
That campaign was not a standard cashback TV spot, but it belongs in a Chase commercial-actors hub because it shows how Chase uses major celebrities as brand ambassadors across digital, social, and community-driven campaigns. Serena gives Chase prestige, excellence, and motivational credibility.

Chase uses celebrities because financial products can be difficult to make exciting.
A cashback card, banking app, or premium travel card needs clear benefits, but benefits alone do not always make memorable advertising. Celebrities help Chase turn financial features into stories. Kevin Hart makes cashback funny. Stephen Curry and A’ja Wilson make rewards feel competitive and aspirational. Macaulay Culkin and Catherine O’Hara bring holiday nostalgia. Ella Langley connects Sapphire Reserve to dining and music culture. Ben Stiller and the Foster sisters help turn premium-card benefits into lifestyle moments.
That is Chase’s commercial strategy: use famous people to make money management, rewards, travel, and banking feel more human.
Chase commercials usually work best when the celebrity performance feels light, fast, and relatable.
Kevin Hart’s Chase work depends on comic timing and energy. He is not playing a distant spokesperson; he is often placed inside everyday money situations, whether that means cashback, banking, or teaching his daughter about credit. Stephen Curry and A’ja Wilson bring sports authenticity, while Kevin Garnett and Macaulay Culkin add recognition and humor in Chase’s more nostalgic ads.
The Sapphire Reserve ads use a different acting style. Ella Langley, Ben Stiller, Erin Foster, and Sara Foster help sell a lifestyle. Their performances are less about explaining a banking product and more about making travel, dining, and premium access look desirable.
