The actor featured in this ad above is NOT, I repeat,  NOT Karl Malden. In fact his name is Richard Herd and he was born in Boston.

I knew that Karl Malden almost lived to the age of 100 and when I saw this commercial last night, it made me wonder if he had sprung back to life or filmed this commercial shortly before his death in 2009.

After a little research, I was able to sleep peacefully knowing that a Zombie Malden wasn't running wild through the streets (of San Francisco?) and posthumously endorsing thermostats.
