Perhaps Comedy Central, Bravo and AMC are donating the time slots to air 
these commercials, and perhaps the car dealer is giving away free cars, too?  NAH.

I have had the same things asked of me as a public relations professional -- 
never in New York, only in Cleveland -- and it's insane.  I don't know one 
roofer who wouldn't laugh in your face if you said, "but it won't take long, and 
I'm sure you have the materials lying around."

I offer my PR services to non-profit or small business clients on a sliding 
scale, at a rate reasonable for their budget.  It works, too -- I have been 
consistently building up my client list over four years, solely on word of mouth.

It was a brazen move for a for-profit to expect the talent to work for free.  
Local actors absolutely need to read it and hit "delete."
