Vitara TV Commercial

Who is the actress in the Suzuki Grand Vitara commercial?

The ad starts with a man leaving home and kissing his wife goodbye, then jumps off of a cliff with a parachute to the bottom of a ravine where his Vitara awaits. The wife looks incredibly familiar to me, but I just can't place her.

You can see the ad here, it's the first one, 'Base Jump'.

And BTW the WMV file is much better quality than the Quicktime one. You can actually tell it's a woman, though regrettably I cannot identify her.

I remembered fast forwarding through this commercial today while watching America's Next Top Model (don't judge me!) so I pulled it up in glorious high-res.

The woman didn't remind me of anyone EXCEPT that when she spoke (all she says is "have a good day, see you tonight!") she sounded exactly like Mary-Louise Parker to me.

Thanks for the link to the commercial. However, even after repeated viewings, I STILL don't know who she is, or more importantly, where I have seen her before.

Interestingly, there is now a "making of" video on the same page, which identifies the stuntman as Dave Barlia. But not the actress.
