<p>As one of the stars of Go Daddy&#8217;s new Super Bowl commercial, in which he kisses <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/leonardo-dicaprio" target="_blank"><strong>Leonardo DiCaprio</strong></a>&#8216;s ex girlfriend, Heiman has become the envy of millions of red-blooded males.</p>
<p>“I’m the luckiest guy in America,” he told <a href="http://celebuzz.com" target="_blank"><strong>Celebuzz</strong></a> of his steamy experience, which took 60 takes to complete.</p>
<p>In the commercial, which was released by the Internet company days ahead of the Super Bowl, Heiman and Refaeli smooch for a long eight seconds as <strong>Danica Patrick</strong> watches on.</p>
<p>Like the rest of us, Heiman, 32, made sure he loaded up on mints, gum and mouth strips before locking lips with the Israeli hottie in L.A.’s famous Universal lot.</p>
<p><span id="more-14217231"></span></p>
<p>“I had to make sure that my breath was good and it worked &#8212; because Bar told me that I was a good kisser too,” he said.</p>
<p>Heiman, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-02-01/smooches-meet-the-other-star-of-bar-refaelis-godaddy-commercial-exclusive" target="_blank">a veteran background actor</a> whose 11-year resume includes <em>The Social Network</em>, <em>American Pie 2</em>, <em>Entourage</em> and <em>Glee</em>, first made headlines last year when a compilation of his work popped up on YouTube.</p>
<p>While the Boston native remained tight-lipped about his Go Daddy paycheck, he did dish on his love life, if anyone is interested (and there’s competition).</p>
<p>“At the moment I do not have a girlfriend but the offers are starting to roll in after the advert aired on YouTube, and the feedback has been very positive.”</p>
<p>Beyond the 60 takes of lip action, Heiman said his gorgeous co-star was great to work with.</p>
<p>“She was very smart and a lot of fun and when the camera was not rolling, she would ask me questions and we chatted about various things.</p>
<p>“Hopefully, we can stay in touch but it might be tough because she lives in Israel a lot of the time but she was happy with the way the commercial panned out.”</p>

<p>For <strong>Jesse Heiman</strong>, he&#8217;s quickly become the envy of millions, after kissing supermodel <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/bar-refaeli" target="_blank"><strong>Bar</strong><strong> Refaeli</strong></a> in the new Super Bowl comercial for Internet giant GoDaddy.</p>
<p>&#8220;It felt like winning a million bucks,&#8221; the geeky actor told <a href="http://celebuzz.com" target="_blank"><strong>Celebuzz</strong></a> about his on-screen smoochfest.</p>
<p>But this is not the first major moment of his career. Heiman&#8217;s acting resume includes roles in the Oscar-winning film <em>The Social Network</em> and the teen flick <em>American Pie</em>. He&#8217;s even worked with <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/steven-spielberg" target="_blank"><strong>Steven Spielberg</strong></a> in <em>Catch Me If You Can</em> (incidentally, starring Refaeli&#8217;s ex <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/leonardo-dicaprio" target="_blank"><strong>Leonardo DiCaprio</strong></a>).</p>
<p>These days, you can catch Heiman on <em>Glee</em>, but he&#8217;s far from being the most recognizable face in Hollywood.</p>
<p><span id="more-14213181"></span></p>
<p>Alas, he is a &#8220;background actor,&#8221; one of the legions of anonymous performers who are paid a minimum wage to lurk around in some of cinema’s biggest films.</p>
<p>That was until last year, when a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdEBu7ODVk8" target="_blank">YouTube mélange</a> of Heiman&#8217;s remarkable 11-year screen career revealed exactly how prolific the actor has become.</p>
<p>“People keep asking me, ‘Have you seen this video?’” he said. “Seen it? I’ve lived it!”</p>
<p>In an exclusive interview, the 32-year-old dished on his fame at a small cafe on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>“It was the number one, number six <em>and</em> number eight top videos watched in Sweden last week,” he said of the YouTube video.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A remarkable 1,500,000 hits followed in just days, while the video quickly spread worldwide via Twitter and Facebook, turning Heiman&#8217;s seemingly anonymous life upside down. “The phone hasn’t stopped ringing,” he said.</p>
<p>Set to the rousing score from <em>Requiem For A Dream</em>, the Internet video, which runs just over two minutes, is introduced by the words: &#8220;Do you recognize this brilliant actor? According to the myth he appears in every movie and TV-show ever created. I found a few of them.&#8221;</p>
<p>While the claim isn’t quite true, the portly Bostonian has made a staggering 56 appearances in mainstream movies and television shows since his 2001 debut as Petey, the unnoticeable trombone player <em>American Pie 2,</em> making him one of the most ubiquitous actors in Hollywood.</p>
<p>“Did you see <em>Catch Me If You Can? </em>Spielberg is my hero. The reason I got into acting. He directed me on <em>Catch,” </em>Heiman said, as casually as Harrison Ford might talk about <em>Raiders</em>. “It was one the best moments of my life.”</p>
<p>But since appearing in numerous cult favorites and box-office successes, from <em>Old School </em>to<em> Spiderman</em>, Heiman has become an unlikely talisman for big-name directors like <strong>Michael Bay </strong>&#8211; who hand-picked the actor for two <em>Transformers</em> films, fueling the his quite remarkable CV.</p>
<p>After graduating from a Texan University in 2000, Heiman surprised friends with a move to Los Angeles to embark on an acting career. After <em>American Pie</em> <em>2</em>, he reprised his role as an awkward-looking student in the college romp <em>Van Wilder.</em> But it wasn&#8217;t until 2002 that he would get his biggest break: peering over <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/kirsten-dunst" target="_blank"><strong>Kirsten Dunst</strong></a>’s shoulder in <em>Spiderman</em>.</p>
<p>Drive-by appearances followed on the smaller screen, gracing such shows as <em>Entourage</em>, <em>The O.C.,</em> <em>Arrested Development</em>, and a blink-and-you-miss-it spot on <em>My Name Is Earl</em>.</p>
<p>“I’m a character actor,” he said. “I think I could become one of the great character actors like <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/jonah-hill" target="_blank"><strong>Jonah Hill</strong></a>.”</p>
<p>The physical similarity is undeniable, but the two performers are far from friends.</p>
<p>“I think I’m nicer than Jonah. I’ve met him, he’s a bit of a . . .well let’s not go there. I don’t think he respects background actors . . . I prefer to think of myself as more like a <strong>John Candy</strong> kind of actor, anyway. If there’s ever a <em>Planes, Trains and Automobiles</em> reboot or remake I could see myself in that.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Heiman, the key to his success is his ability to &#8220;play it cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>“If you can show up on time and don’t be all like, ‘Woo hoo! I’m on a movie set!’ then you might get asked back,” he said. “That’s if you don’t get bored.”</p>
<p>For <em>The Social Network</em>, Heiman worked for 13 hours straight at the University of Southern California. On director <strong>David</strong> <strong>Fincher</strong>, the actor said, &#8220;[He's] a very serious guy &#8212; a genius. It took a few takes but he happened to put me in a great spot. I have a great track record with big directors &#8212; they always want to put me right centre.”</p>
<p>Despite his lengthy relationship with Hollywood, Heiman is still waiting for that big break.</p>
<p>“Over time you can make money, but I don’t get any residuals,” he explained. “I get a base rate for a union actor at SAG. Extra work is $139 for eight hours work, plus there are meal penalties and transportation allowances.”</p>
<p>“You know Jonah Hill’s already made millions of dollars, but that’s not my life yet,” he says. “I’m just praying for a speaking role.”</p>
<p>While GoDaddy’s Superbowl commercial may not have granted Jesse his wish, it certainly has made the actor a living legend.</p>
