Bud Light "Keep the Good Times Going" commercial

Who is that guy?

This is a relatively new (within the last six months or so) commercial featuring a mascot character named "Budd Light", I'm curious as to who plays him.

The commercial starts off with a graphic of the "Keep the Good Times Going" slogan which is spoken by the Budd Light character. He's also superimposed just above the graphic.

The setting is a backyard party. The guests complain to Budd Light that while the party is fun, they are not having as good a time as they'd like. He informs them that it's probably due to a pale, reedy German man in a speedo-style swimsuit who is towelling himself off near the pool. (who Budd refers to as "Mr. Bag of Marbles")

Budd Light approaches the man and informs him (in German) that there's "a guy selling Schnitzel out front". The German man thanks him for this information and leaves.

Afterward the party is shown in full swing, and the "Keep the Good Times Going" graphic is shown again.

The Budd Light character wore a blue jumpsuit not dissimilar to the ones that Elvis used to wear. It featured a round patch on the left breast that said "Budd" and a belt buckle with the letters "BL" emblazoned on it. He also wore blue aviator style sunglasses. The character was portrayed as sort of a cartoonish superhero: Kind of a lower-key version of The Simpsons "Duffman".

The spot is in heavy rotation in here Canada, but I can't find any evidence of it on the internet, or even on the official Bud Light website. If anyone has any information about the actor who plays Budd Light, or even a link to an online video of the commercial, it would be greatly appreciated by me.

Just a quick update. I've located a clip of an extended version of the commercial. Here's a youtube link:

Kinda poor quality but still watchable. Maybe it'll help.
