Jesse Franklin Heiman (born May 23, 1978) is an American actor, best known for his uncredited work as an extra in a wide variety of films and television shows[1] and for appearing with Bar Refaeli and Danica Patrick in a Go Daddy commercial at Super Bowl XLVII, in which Refaeli, a supermodel, and Heiman share a graphic french kiss.[2] On April 11, 2011 Jesse appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno alongside Jamie Foxx. Despite his age, he still portrays teenagers and young adults as an extra. As a play on the Go Daddy commercial, singer Michael Bublé cast Heiman in the opening scene of his video "It's a Beautiful Day" where Bublé walks in on Jaime Pressly, who plays his significant other in the comical video, and Heiman sharing a kiss, to which Bublé responds by singing the song.

Heiman began acting as a background extra in November 2000 and has appeared in innumerable films, television shows, commercials, and music videos.

On March 14, 2011, a video compilation was uploaded to YouTube, showing clips of Heiman's various appearances.[3] Within days of the video being online, the video had over 2 million views.
Heiman appeared in Go Daddy's Super Bowl XLVII commercial, acting with the model Bar Refaeli (with whom he intimately kisses) and NASCAR driver and perennial Go Daddy pitchwoman Danica Patrick.[4][5] Following the response to GoDaddy's Super Bowl XLVII commercial, Los Angeles based porn company Assence Films extended an offer to Heiman to appear in an adult film of his choosing.
