NEWS'The Mighty Ducks' Star Shaun Weiss Hits the Ice Rink for the First Time in Nearly 30 Years to Film Commercial: Watch
Actor Shaun Weiss admitted he hadn't been on ice skates since the '90s.
After overcoming a rough patch, Shaun Weiss is back on his feet and on the ice!
The Mighty Ducks star returned to the rink for the first time in almost 30 years to shoot a commercial for odor eliminator spray FunkAway.
"This new ad campaign really stinks! I had the best time back out on the ice and only hit my a-- once!" the actor, 45, joked. "Falling down during this commercial shoot reminded me of day 1 of training camp on the Mighty Ducks when we lied to producers that we all knew how to skate and play hockey!"
FunkAway helps get any bad smells out of things you can't put in a washing machine, such as your vehicle, sports gear and pet beds.
'The Mighty Ducks' actor Shaun Weiss played ice hockey for the first time in nearly three decades.
The commercial — which was put together by Zack Teperman and his agency ZTPR and filmed by Hunter Franklin of Brotherdale Creative — took place in Nolensville, Tenn., at Gary Force Acura Ice Arena.
"I was reluctant but FunkAway and Teperman made me an offer I couldn't refuse," Weiss noted. "Skating at 45 is a lot different from 15. I was exhausted just from lacing up my skates. It was like getting bar mitzvah'd all over again. I have a lot more respect for Bombay now."
