Dan Levy Stars in 'Come Together' by M&M's
Ellen Smith — February 4, 2021 — Marketing
Come Together by M&M's is a thoughtful and lighthearted ad spot that encourages people to share a bag of chocolate when owning up to their mishaps. The ad features a montage of different people apologizing. One man offers candy as he apologizes for being a mansplainer, while another women gifts the chocolate to show her condolences to a friend named Karen.
At the end of the ad, actor Dan Levy arrives in a brief cameo, where he is seated at a table with the animated red and green M&M. The Schitts Creek actor quickly apologizes for eating their friends, as the camera pans to her vehicle, where an M&M is being held hostage in the backseat.
