\u201cBig Lebowski\u201d and \u201cA Star is Born\u201d actor Sam Elliott lent his voice to a campaign ad for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. <\/span><\/p>\n Nielsen Media Research<\/a> reported that an average of 9 million viewers on Fox Tuesday night saw the ad. The controversial ad is said to have cost $4million. It was launched during the World Series Game 1<\/a> between Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays. <\/span>The ad was also aired on CMT Music Awards. However, it is said that although the game was the most-watched program of the night, it was also the least-watched World Series game since Nielsen Media Research started tracking its ratings in 1968. <\/span><\/p>\n Sam Elliott\u2019s campaign debuted after Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lopez, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Taylor Swift, as well as several cast reunions of series like \u201cThe West Wing,\u201d \u201cVeep\u201d and \u201cParks and Rec\u201d have endorsed the candidate in the past weeks. <\/span>These stars have also raised money for Mr. Biden and Democratic candidates. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to CNN Politics<\/a>, this costly ad shows Biden\u2019s cash advantage over President Donald Trump. With a piano rendition of \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner\u201d in the background, Elliott provided a voiceover for Joe Biden\u2019s \u201cGo From There\u201d campaign. It talked about being a unified country and Americans working hand in hand towards achieving the same goals. <\/span><\/p>\n “There is only one America,”<\/em> Elliott says. <\/span>He goes on to say: \u201cNo Democratic rivers. No Republican mountains. Just this great land, and all that\u2019s possible on it with a fresh start,\u201d<\/em> as he narrated Biden\u2019s spontaneous day to day encounters with Americans. <\/span><\/p>\n “There is so much we can do if we choose to take on problems and not each other, and choose a president who brings out our best. Joe Biden doesn’t need everyone in this country to always agree. Just to agree that we love this country,<\/em>” says the actor who did not appear on the campaign. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sam Elliott however has not released an official statement, expressing his support for the candidate even after doing a voice over for campaign material. Although, in 2017, he revealed to Metro that he is not a fan of President Trump. “I think Trump won because he didn\u2019t have someone running against him that was electable, but god, just the fact that this guy could get elected president is mind-boggling,”<\/em> said the actor. <\/span><\/p>\n In his official Twitter account, Biden shared the ad with a caption, “It\u2019s time we see each other as fellow Americans who live in \u2014 and love \u2014 the United States of America.”<\/em> After it was launched during the World Series, the Twitter world went wild. Democrat and ex-council leader Jon Cooper wrote: \u201cThis is the best Biden ad so far. Absolutely awesome. Thank you, Sam Elliott\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat Sam Elliott Biden ad might be the best piece of political advertising I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d<\/em> said one user. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sam Elliott is not new to voicing expensive advertisements.
