What really happened to the original sprint guy on the alltel commercial?

Author: This question was resolved once, but they were wrong. It was decided that the wizard zapped him and he didn’t come back. I just watched that commercial, and not only was the Sprint guy not the one that got zapped, but the new Sprint guy was in that one too. So what happened to him?
And try to be nice.

WIZARD!!!
After watching several of the new Alltel commercials, I’ve found myself asking, "What happened to Sprint guy number one?"
As it turns out, he quit! Copied and pasted from his MySpace blog:
Not in the new Alltel commercials
I’ve had a lot of people write and ask me about this, so I thought it’d be easiest to just write a blog. I hate that word, I don’t know if I’ve ever typed the word blog before. it even looks dumb.
Anyway. I’m no longer ‘The Sprint Guy’ in the Alltel commercials. Basically, Alltel wanted to sign me (and the rest of the guys) through the end of 2008. Everyone else signed on except me. I didn’t want to be known as that guy at the expense of other things I’d rather do, like TV and movies. It may not have hurt, but who knows. Also, Alltel was unable to offer a contract that addressed specific concerns my representation had with it. So, we decided it would be best to move on.
I think that’s about it. Thanks for the messages from friends and strangers, glad you found me entertaining in those commercials, or at least recognized my presence and consequent lack thereof in said commercials.
