Who Is Kate Hudson?
Kate Hudson is an Academy Award-nominated actress known for films including Almost Famous and a long career in romantic comedies and television.
In Running Point, she plays Isla Gordon, an executive trying to manage the fictional Los Angeles Waves basketball organization.
Hudson brings the same character directly into the State Farm commercial, which helps the advertisement feel like an extension of the show rather than an unrelated celebrity endorsement.
Who Is Chet Hanks?
Chet Hanks is an actor and musician who plays Travis Bugg in Running Point.
His character adds a more unpredictable energy to the commercial, giving Jake from State Farm another eccentric personality to play against.
Who Plays Jake from State Farm?
Kevin Miles plays Jake from State Farm.
Miles became the modern face of the character in 2020 and has since appeared with athletes, actors and musicians across dozens of State Farm campaigns.
What Happens in the Commercial?
The campaign treats Jake as a kind of safety net for the fictional basketball team’s front office.
That fits State Farm’s “With the Assist” concept: in basketball, an assist helps someone else complete the play; in life, State Farm positions itself as the person helping when something goes wrong.
The crossover was substantial enough that Jake also entered the actual Running Point story world.
