Brian Edward Baker (born July 16, 1967) is an American actor best known for his recurring role as a trenchcoated spokesman in Sprint's television commercials.
He attended Penn State University, where he became a member of Phi Beta Theta and earned a Bachelor of Arts in marketing in 1990.
After graduating from Penn State, he studied at The Second City improvisational comedy troupe in Chicago, while also working as a stand-up comedian and in the Seanachai Theatre Company.
Baker's image appeared all over Sprint's in-store signage, printed material, and the company's website, providing a human face for an otherwise faceless telecommunications behemoth.
He appears as Representative John Tandy on the television series The West Wing and guest-starred on episodes of Providence, The Drew Carey Show, and V.I.P.
