While you may only know John Lehr as the caveman, he's actually been building a steady behind-the-scenes career in show business for a couple of decades. An actor, writer, comedian, and producer, he has appeared in hit shows like Friends and in movies like The Sweetest Thing, and he has also promoted other products like Tostitos and Pepsi before schilling for GEICO. It's his role as the caveman, however, that has left the most lasting impression on fans, and the popularity of the commercials left Lehr stunned. He told Interviewing Hollywood back in 2007 "I'm stunned...I mean, it's huge! My wife just recently googled GEICO caveman blogs, and it's unbelievable. There's a whole bunch of people out there who are fascinated with these commercials."
And all these years later, people are still fascinated with the caveman; Forbes did a feature on Lehr just last year. But while the caveman may have been a major meal ticket for Lehr and may be his most iconic role, the face underneath all that makeup is one that may draw attention for a different reason entirely: with sparkling blue eyes and a warm smile, he's quite handsome.
