8 Stars Who Got Their Big Breaks In Super Bowl Ads

Before he was on "Will & Grace," Sean Hayes stared at Ali Landry in awe during that same Doritos' ad that launched her career.

Although Betty White seems to be just about everywhere these days — from "SNL" appearances to movies to her own reality shows — the former "Golden Girl" saw a lag in her career when we entered the new Millennium.

What caused her career to get back on track? A 2010 Snickers Super Bowl commercial in which White played a crucial role in a pickup football game.

"That's what really started the little surge," White told Ad Age.

Farrah Fawcett starred in a Super Bowl ad for Noxzema with quarterback Joe Namath in 1973.

Not too long after, the then-unknown model's career exploded. She eventually nabbed her iconic role in "Charlie's Angels," changing the history of women's hair forever.

Watch the spot below:

Although Cedric the Entertainer (Cedric Kyle) already had a loyal fanbase from his appearances on "The Steve Harvey Show" and "The Original Kings of Comedy," a 2001 Bud Light ad catapulted him into becoming the celebrity he is today.

"The Bud Light campaign could well elevate Cedric into major league status," a 2001 Los Angeles Times article predicted. And it did.

Watch the spot, in which a beer ruins the comedian's date night:

While Patrick was certainly already well-known in the NASCAR circuit, her partnership with Go Daddy in 2006 made the race car driver a household name.

Even though Go Daddy spread rumors that it might cut the iconic "Go Daddy Girl" from its new, supposedly more conservative, ad campaigns, Patrick still starred in the company's 2013 Super Bowl ad with supermodel Bar Refaeli.

Watch Patrick in a Go Daddy commercial that FOX refused to air in the 2008 Super Bowl:

If you recognized the trainer that the Clydesdale ran towards in Budweiser's heartwarming 2013 Super Bowl spot, titled "Brotherhood," that's because he played Neil Armstrong in the latest "Transformers" movie.

Considering that the spot stole the show and won the number one spot in USA Today's Ad Meter poll, we're suspecting that you're going to see a lot more of Don Jeanes soon.

And finally, the ultimate Super Bowl commercial unknown who we're sure is about to make it big: Jesse Heiman.

Although Heiman has been an extra in more than 200 television shows and movies, often playing the stock nerd character, his starring role as tech geek who makes out with Bar Refaeli in Go Daddy's 2013 Super Bowl commercial is his biggest spot yet.
