Congratulations to Lydia Liu who played the role of “Imposter Mum” on a new Dolmio Ad. While she has already been paid very well for this job, she will get a healthy upgrade to her fee if she is featured in the final edit of the commercial. Not only that, but if the commercial is played beyond the initial contract term, she will get rollover payments too. You go “Imposter Mum”.
