Noah Kalina has a way in front of the camera.

Gaining international notoriety for his daily self-portraits recorded over six years and uploaded to YouTube as a video (which has now been viewed over 14 MILLION times), 20x200 edition-maker Noah Kalina scored himself yet another 15 seconds of fame when he appeared in a Superbowl spot for the Dodge Charger on Sunday evening. Read in the flat, monotone voice of Michael C. Hall, the camera lingers for long moments over a series of resigned, chastened and, we are given to believe, whipped men.

I will take your call. I will listen to your opinion of my friends. I will listen to your friends' opinions of my friends. I will be civil to your mother.

Hall's voice drifts over Kalina's huge eyes, as the monologue continues to its coup d'cock riposte, "...and because I do this, I will drive the car that I WANT to drive."

Noah writes on his blog that he was the only non-professional actor in the commercial, chosen because of the long video portrait photographer Clayton Cubitt made of him and posted to Vimeo.

Noah has also recently redesigned his portfolio, which, he promises us, contains no flash. (Really, that's a promise I wish more people would make, including the entire country of France).

There are only a handful of Kalina's edition left on 20x200, so be sure to take a look-see before they're all gone.
