The Real Reason You Know The Actors From Taco Bell's Nacho Fries Commercial

Taco Bell commercials usually aim to tempt your senses with a look at their tasty menu, which includes things like nachos, burritos, and, of course, tacos. However, back in 2018, the chain created a sizzle when they brought nacho fries to their U.S. customers. And they did so with the help of a commercial that was tantalizing in more ways than one.

Giving fast food lovers a look at the French fries — which were flavored with mouth-watering spices and served with deliciously dippable nacho cheese sauce — the ad was just as over-the-top as you would expect for such a supremely savory item. Given the seemingly ominous title "Web of Fries," the spot (which is a perfect parody of a thriller movie trailer) stars Josh Duhamel as a man who wants to get to the bottom of Taco Bell's fries-less menu. However, in asking why the popular restaurant doesn't serve the common side item, the family man finds himself caught up in a conspiracy that involves powerful people who only want to see fries paired with ketchup.

If that piques your interest, then you'll definitely want to check out which stars popped up in Taco Bell's spine-tingling — and taste bud-tingling — 2020 nacho fries horror parody commercial.

Sarah Hyland reveals that Joe Keery 'can't escape the craving'

You can't always get what you want. That's exactly what one man realizes in a Taco Bell commercial that was released in December 2020. But who is that familiar face who plays that particular man? It's none other than Joe Keery who you likely know as Steve Harrington from Stranger Things. You might also recognize the actor as Trust Fund Cole from 2017's Molly's Game or as Chris from 2018's After Everything.

As for the Taco Bell horror parody commercial which features Keery, the jam-packed 30-second spot sees the star go through an emotional process to let go of the nacho fries that aren't always available. However, as he's saying goodbye to the tasty treat, someone else is there to reveal that he just "can't escape the craving." That someone is a concerned woman played by Modern Family alum Sarah Hyland (a.k.a Haley Dunphy).

Luckily for those who just can't forget about their need for nacho fries and the cheese sauce that comes along with them, Taco Bell used the ad to announce that they were bringing back the popular side. So while the commercial may give you the chills, it might also make you want to head to the nearest Taco Bell A.S.A.P.
