Biography

Lester Speight (born January 7, 1963) is an American film and television actor, best known for his portrayal of Terry Tate: Office Linebacker in a series of Reebok commercials that first aired during Super Bowl XXXVII in 2003. The spots feature Speight, a former All-American player himself, as a linebacker charged with the no-holds barred enforcement of office policies.

The commercials achieved much critical acclaim and were ranked the most-watched of the Super Bowl by The Hollywood Reporter. The popular character recently made a return appearance in a series of ads campaign in support of voting. Amongst the Office Linebacker's new tackles included former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
