Jim Adler is a lawyer who has been advertising on television since I was a kid. He's extremely intimidating, and he likes to yell at the camera about how he's the "tough, smart, TEXAS lawyer."
In my mind, there are no other lawyers.
How can there be when he presents this infallible image of lawyer as linebacker, "The Texas Hammer," standing majestically in the grand foyer of his office (or is it a train station?) drawing the eye to make the not-so-subtle comparison to the background of Old Glory or the head of a bald eagle staring proudly into the west. All to the tune of "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky. These images come from his website and, hilariously, his myspace page. Most notably in his top friends? Houston pop station 104 KRBE, and the band Blue October. I'm sure he's calling in requesting "Into the Ocean" for the Top 5 at Nine.
And the comments on his page are nothing short of fascinating. I'll highlight, " WUZHATNIN JIMMY!? LOVE THE COMMERCIALS BRUH! cant wait for the next one. latuh!" and, "Stopping by to say HELLO, Mr. Adler." to give an example of the range. Also there are apparently quite a few lawyers on myspace...leads me to wonder if Jim Adler is the top dog leading this quiet revolution.
Speaking of revolution...
Obviously, at some point someone figured they might try to soften his image...hence the above little jewel. Maybe if Jim interacts with some animated friends, it'll take him away from his surly initial appearence and appeal to more people with "catastropic" injuries.
Worked for Bob Hoskins.
GoForth, Texas...and SUE!
