My former employers at Mansueto Ventures (publishers of Inc. and Fast Company—not a shoe company or VC firm, as others have suggested the name implies) have a pretty sweet office. It’s so nice, in fact, that we often rented it out to TV and commercial producers for use as a set.

I spent about 10 minutes on YouTube and tracked down a handful of the spots that were filmed during my time there:

MediaSet, starring Hugh Laurie and Uma Thurman—my buddy Michael also caught House lounging on the couch that some of us used to nap on during all-night launches.

My commercial with Hugh and Uma

Directed by Tony Goldwyn. Cinematographer – Robert Elswit (Oscar winner, “There will be blood.”

Fringe—shot in our boardroom.

Butterfly Attack

Butterfly Attack is a cool scene from Fringe (Fox TV) season 1, episode 9.

Marriott—This was shot down the hall from my office; I heard that “smoothie” line about one hundred times that day.

No Title

No Description

Kit Kat—that’s a fake wall, for some reason.
