Tommy Dysart Biography – Tommy Dysart Wiki
Tommy Dysart was a Scottish-born Australian actor. He was best known for the 1992 Yellow Pages TV commercial where he plays a frustrated car owner trying to fix his Goggomobil — a limited series of German microcar. In the ad, he goes through the Yellow Pages to find a mechanic who stocks parts for his unique car, but he comes across people who don’t know the make of the car or can’t understand his thick Scottish accent.
“I’ve got a problem with my Goggomobil,” Dysart says. He then spells out the name of the car “G…O…G…G…O…” Dysart finds a mechanic familiar with the Goggomobil Dart model, but says: “No, not the Dart, not the Dart.”
