Because of that, the video&#8217;s creator won $1 million to go along with the $25,000 already awarded for being selected a finalist in the Doritos contest. In addition, he was guaranteed the right to work on a future Doritos project with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelonelyisland.com\/video\/dick-in-a-box\">Andy Samberg and the rest of The Lonely Island<\/a>. And the creator was none other than Jonathan Friedman, a JMU alum from the class of 1994. The actor in the ad was Derek Leonidoff, was also a Duke from 1997. Congrats to both Jonathan and Derek.
