By MELISSA LEMIEUX
The two actors who portray Doug and "Liberty Biberty" in the Liberty Mutual commercials have thick resumes and a long list of credentials behind them.
David Hoffman has been playing Doug ever since 2019, but he’s had many supporting roles on Nickcoms and Disneycoms such as "Victorious," and "Big Time Rush."

He's had parts in dramas, sitcoms, and soap operas alike. He’s been in "The Young & the Restless," "New Girl," "Modern Family," "Bones," Castle," and "Franklin and Bash."
His most substantive part thus far has been in the Hulu Western comedy series "Quick Draw," as Clay Tidwell, a schoolteacher who may or may not secretly be a murderer.
Hoffman has also used his experience in sketch and improvisational comedy in sketches on talk shows such as "Conan" and "Tosh.0."
Tanner Novlan, who plays "Liberty Biberty," has been acting since 2009. He has already achieved minor fame thanks to his Liberty Mutual ads and his role in a soap opera.

He's mainly known as Dr. John Finnegan, former husband to Steffy Forrester and biological son of notorious villain Sheila Carter on "The Bold and the Beautiful."
While Novlan has appeared in over 400 episodes of the show, he may also be familiar to television viewers as Alex Manes’ older brother, Gregory, in "Roswell, New Mexico."
Along with small parts on series like "Parenthood," "Modern Family," and "Letterkenny," Novlan has also appeared in "Christmas Class Reunion" and "My Best Friend's Christmas."
