TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – Every year the National Football League airs a commercial before the coin toss of the Super Bowl. This year a Topekan is playing the starring role of Vince Lombardi.
Russ Hutchison lives and works in Topeka. He’s a realtor and a father, but he’s also an actor.
On Sunday, he told KSNT about the opportunity to be part of a Super Bowl commercial, but could not tell us who or what it was for.
The NFL teased the commercial on Twitter.
Coach Lombardi’s philosophy was simple. Work together. Win together.
