Jack in the Box is bringing back its most famous employee, Mark Hamill, to announce the return of Jack’s fan-favorite Spicy Chicken Strips and French Toast Sticks in an all-new campaign titled, “The Return of Mark Hamill.”
Included in the campaign is this video of a Hamill drive-thru stunt in which the Star Wars actor comes back to work at Jack in the Box, where he was employed as a teenager. Hamill was originally fired from Jack in the Box for impersonating a clown in the drive thru, but now he’s there for a limited time–just like the Spicy chicken Strips and French Toast Sticks.
Hamill is seen and heard doing a clown voice–as customers who drive up to the window are astonished to see who’s waiting with their order.
Brendan Gibbons of Station Film directed the “stunt” film for TBWAChiatDay LA.
Gibbons said, “The TBWA/Chiat team are a great bunch who came up with the idea to bring Mark back to the place he worked before he was an actor. That’s a great hook. We worked together to find a bunch of funny stuff we could hang on that hook. And what a pleasure Mark was. A great sport and a true gentleman.”

In a world full of speed, overstimulation and tech that delivers everything yet makes us feel very little, the real provocation is choosing to slow down.
That tension sits at the heart of the electric vehicle category. EVs have long been marketed as cutting-edge technological advancements, attracting early adopters eager to embrace the category. However, once they got behind the driving wheel, many discovered an experience that fell short of luxury: sterile, soulless, and overly simplistic.
For the launch of the 2026 Lexus RZ, Lexus and longtime agency partners Team One introduce a new creative chapter of “The Standard of Amazing” through a lens called “Electricity at Its Finest,” reframing electricity not as utility, but as a work of art.
With this hero film of the campaign, “Miles and Miles,” Lexus intentionally breaks from the frenetic pace of traditional automotive advertising. Instead of spectacle, it offers stillness. A single, quiet moment unfolds where a man savors two rarefied, electric objects: a plugged-in RZ and an impossibly modern turntable playing the timeless sounds of Miles Davis’ “Blue in Green.” Directed by Frédéric Planchon of Anonymous Content, the film is audacious in its simplicity and serves as an example of how electricity can create a seductively beautiful experience--less “iPad on wheels,” more emotional sanctuary.
“The new luxury are spaces and moments drenched in serenity. Engineered escapes from the rage-based attention economy. The RZ is designed to be part of that. A crafted counterweight to the outside world,” said Mark Koelfgen, executive creative director at Team One. “This film is about dwelling in the perfect moment. Timeless classics like Miles Davis in equilibrium with... Read More
