In the recording and voice-over industry, there are lots of "sound-alikes" that make a living doing voice ads pretending to be someone else. James Earl Jones had several imposters, and Sam Elliot is famous enough to have some too.
Add to that the very real software that can match any voice and make it "say" whatever a content creator wants it to say, then it's a whole new ballgame.
This ad ALMOST sounds like Elliot, but not quite. I'd bet a cheeseburger, with bacon and grilled onions, that this is a fake.
SOUNDS like Sam Elliot, but in these days of deep fakes and just plain digital trickery, I'm not buying that it's him until Sam Elliot says it's him.
Definitely has the deep fake vibe to me. Pace and depth of the voice are off, and the wording doesn't jive with how he usually speaks.
That's what I thought too. Like a really good Elvis impersonator but there's just that little something not authentic.
The use of profanity did it for me. No way.
That's what I'm hoping...

Me, too Banjo...close, but no cigar!
Damn I hope you are right.
