Douglas Ekman

Actor, Spokesperson,
Voiceover, Writer, Director  

I was a contributing writer for Saturday Night Live during the first year of the show, stand up comic and warm up act for many, including the James Brown Band in concert and wrote for many comics including George Carlin. I have worked both sides of the camera and take direction well. I’m obviously a senior, but accustomed to working 50 to 60 hours per week.

 

Currently, I can be seen nationally in TV commercials for Prevagen as well as on their site and voice talent for their radio commercials nationally. I’m based in downtown Chicago and very available for auditions. I do several accents, including British, Swedish, Russian, Italian, German, Southern American, ‘Chicago’ and East Indian.

Growing Older With Gusto

What if you could be as vital at age 78 as you are right now? Come listen to Douglas Ekman, a Renaissance Man talk about how he got to be “still in the game” at age 78. Listen to Gail Zukerman’s interview with Douglas on her podcast, “Growing Older With Gusto.”

You Are Old

 

Ekman Douglas, former ad man, voice over talent, talk show host, comedian and contributing writer for Saturday Night Live decided to attempt to answer the age old question: When are you old?

 

He spent more than 50 years in the business world and entertainment industry that included writing for comedians the likes of George Carlin. He was an advertising agency owner for more than 25 years and served as Ad Agency Creative Director for Dodge in the early 80’s during the Lee lacocca rebirth of the Chrysler Corporation.

 

YOU ARE OLD is a mixture of humor, philosophy and reminiscing as Ekman Douglas takes you on a journey that travels from your youth to your present age, no matter how old you are.

 

YOU ARE OLD is not heavy reading and you can make return visits to it time and time again. Ekman says smiling, “This is a book suited for the particular room my father called the library. Some critics may declare, “That’s where it belongs”. He also says, “If you don’t smile while reading YOU ARE OLD, check your pulse.
