Finally An Honest Political Ad - Gil Fulbright
This is not a real political ad. This is a made-up character called Gil Fulbright. The videos are designed to make fun of how politicians operate and to raise awareness of the corruption in the voting system.
I’m so happy that the election cycle is finally over for a few months. But next time, I think I will vote for Gil Fulbright.
Meet Gil Fulbright, he first ran for the U.S. Senate in 2014 with the message “I’m only in this thing for the money, but at least I’m honest about it.“

So what is the real story behind Gil? Gil is actually Frank L Ridley who is an actor and has been in many movies and television shows, like Orange is the New Black, The Blacklist, and 30 Rock to name a few. Besides portraying Gil and acting, Frank is a trained opera singer, being trained at the Boston Conservatory of Music.
