If you are referring to the actor pictured above, his name is J.K. Simmons, but as you can clearly see he is not Black. He won a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his 2014 role in

Whiplash, starring Miles Teller. He also has appeared as J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man franchise starring Tobey Maguire. Simmons also appeared in The LadyKillers (2004) with Tom Hanks, and is a well recognized supporting actor.

Now, on the other hand, there is a Black actor that appears in insurance ads on tv, but they are for Allstate Insurance commercials, not Farmers. That black actor's name is Dennis Haysbert. He has appeared in the Allstate insurance commercials since 2003. He is a native of San Mateo, California. Haysbert is also a certfied deep sea diver since 2004 when he appeared in Discovery Channel's "Secrets of Pearl Harbor." His film roles include: Wreck It Ralph (voice), Think Like A Man, 24 (TV show), Absolute Power (Clint Eastwood), Major League, Major League II, Navy Seals (all three starring Charlie Sheen), numerous other tv roles, and he will voice a character in the sequel Ted 2 (which is schedueld for release later this year).
