Question: Is Dan Wheldon (2005 Indianapolis 500 Winner) the voice of the lizard in the GEICO commercials? (Joe, Avon, Ind.)

Answer: Voice, body and soul. Just not the hair or teeth.


I love to hear the lizard and Wheldon talk.

Dang, I thought that was the gecko's real voice. Now you've ruined it for me.

I've met Wheldon a few times, but it never clicked, seeins how all of those limey's sound the same.
