The fast-food chain’s chief marketing officer, Kevin Hochman, said in a press release that the changes are intentional:
Just like no one person could play the Colonel, no one Colonel can sell both Original Recipe and Extra Crispy fried chicken. And no actor was more qualified to play our Extra Crispy Colonel than a very tan George Hamilton.
In a press release, Hamilton played up the connection between his appearance and the chain’s offering:
I like to think that I know a thing or two about being extra crispy. It didn’t take long for me to get into character as the Extra Crispy Colonel. One could argue that my entire career has been leading up to this role.
