Remember this McDonald's ad?
The cast included John Amos, whose resume includes Good Times, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and the original Roots, and Johnny Haymer, later of M*A*S*H. Look quick, and you'll find a pre-Happy Days Anson Williams, too.
Most of today's McDonald's employ teens & 20-somethings, but you're not going to see the ad agency for McDonald's try to recreate this spot with a hip hop beat. They would've already done it by now.

I can add two more to your two:
The guy at the burger machine is the immortal Bob Ridgely, who you wrote up at the other site once.
And the Store Manager is John Wheeler, with innumerable credits in all media.
The other two guys ...
... back to the rest of you.
Thanks, Mike. I'll make sure to stick this over at Saturday Morning Archives as a result of your ID of Ridgely.
