Connor Storrie Stars in Humorous Verizon Commercial Highlighting Comedic Mishap
Connor Storrie Stars in Humorous Verizon Commercial Highlighting Comedic Mishap captures the new short film released online today. The cinematic ad places the Heated Rivalry breakout in a remote cabin. The spot blends horror tropes with a punchline.
The premise and prank
Storrie arrives at an isolated cabin to unwind. He removes his shirt, lights a fire, and prepares for a quiet night.
Suddenly loud heavy metal erupts from unseen speakers. A Scream-style phone call follows, and tension rises as he searches the house.
The twist
Armed with a knife, Storrie hunts for an intruder. His exclamation, “I’m not messing around!”, marks the peak of his frustration.
The scare turns comic when the noises prove to be smart-home activations. His own phone, accidentally butt-dialed, triggers the chaos.
The ad closes on a cheeky close-up of the phone in his back pocket. The campaign labels Storrie with “Best Butt” and Verizon with “Best Network.”
Creative team and debut work
Nia DaCosta directed the short. It represents her first commercial for a brand. This project also marks Storrie’s debut in a mobile carrier campaign.
The duo first attracted collaboration chatter after being seen together at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. The sighting sparked speculation about a partnership.
Corporate messaging and praise
Verizon frames the spot around network reliability. The company says its service reaches even remote locations.
A press release calls Storrie a “phenomenon.” Verizon EVP and CMO Leslie Berland praised the teamwork and creative process.
Storrie’s comments and next steps
Storrie described the shoot as highly collaborative and creatively rewarding. He praised working with a filmmaker like DaCosta.
The actor has appeared in high-fashion settings before, wearing Tiffany & Co. and Saint Laurent on red carpets. This ad is his first official tech-brand campaign.
Storrie will guest on the new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution. The season premieres in May on Paramount+.
Promotions
Verizon is also running device promotions tied to its unlimited plans. New customers can find promotional pricing for the latest phones.
