Behind The Scenes With Steve Tasker

Buffalo Legend Living Life With A Smile

In his playing days, Steve Tasker dealt with opposing blockers, wild road crowds and NFL officials.  In his retirement days, his biggest worries are the loving fans of Buffalo offering up speaking advice.Steve Tasker delivers his lines with enthusiasm.

"I've got nice elderly ladies coming up to me in church,  telling me about how to pronounce the word 'vehicle' correctly," Tasker joked at at a recent commercial shoot.  He also mentioned Western New Yorkers approaching him in the grocery store and other venues curious about his pronunciation of the word. 

Tasker takes it all with a sense of humor and cherishes the response he gets.  He's not afraid to crack jokes about his Kansas dialect or the possiblity of making "vehicle", with strong emphasis on the 'h", his catch phrase. 

We caught up with Tasker at his recent shoot for a series of commercials promoting West Herr's upcoming Biggest Sales Event of the Year.  While taking his time on camera seriously, Tasker managed to discuss the NCAA brackets and even throw around some quotes from "My Cousin Vinny" with creative director Steve Briscoe.  He also spoke of his time with West Herr.An autographed footbal for charityl by #89

"West Herr is a great company, they really do everything for you," Tasker said to a new West Herr employee. Tasker also took time to autograph a football for charity and ask each person at the shoot about their lives.
