A Volkswagen ad in which a little boy dressed as Darth Vader attempts to use the force has been declared by many to be the best commercial of the Super Bowl, and has garnered over 16 million additional hits on YouTube. And he has ties to Montana!

On the ‘Today Show,“ the pint-sized Vader was revealed to be six-year-old Max Page, who admitted he had never seen “Star Wars” or heard of Darth Vader before auditioning for the role. His grandparents live in Whitefish Montana 6 months out of the year and his mom graduated from Whitefish Highschool.

The little boy, also an actor who appears on the soap opera “The Young and the Restless,” was born with a congenital heart defect and was given a pacemaker at three months old. According to his mother, his long-term prognosis is good.
