Christopher Candy, son of late actor John Candy, appeared in Ben Affleck's Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial. He was part of a featured group called the 'burger chain gang'. Initially unaware of the commercial's Super Bowl significance, Christopher recognized its scale upon arriving on set. He praised Affleck for his directing abilities and shared positive interactions with cast members. Reflecting on his late father's legacy, Christopher felt proud to participate, humorously noting that his father may have favored Tim Hortons over Dunkin'.
"Super sweet guy, really lovely," Christopher said of Affleck, who he got to meet briefly despite having his hands full with starring in the commercial in addition to directing it.
"I can only imagine he would be going, 'I'm glad you're working,'" he quipped.
"It was just kind of in the flow of normal commercial auditions," the actor said of how he booked the gig.
"At the time, I knew it was for Dunkin,' but I didn't actually put together that it was a Super Bowl spot."
