Growing up, Ryan Reynolds dreamed of fixing devices, running diagnostics and offering 24/7 tech support as a member of Best Buy’s Geek Squad. 

But when the whole tech support thing didn’t work out, he settled on becoming an A-list celebrity instead. (Darn.)

In his latest Mint Mobile ad, Reynolds finally decides to forgive Best Buy for that devastating rejection letter he received in the ’90s. The ad explains that Mint Mobile is partnering with the electronics company to sell more phone plans—Mint Unlimited is now available in almost 1,000 Best Buys.
