It’s not a criticism to say that Bethany Woodruff’s talents are going to waste.
In a star turn that — fair warning — might turn your stomach, the Brigham Young University acting student recently appeared in a popular potty-mouthed viral marketing spot for Poo~Pourri Before-You-Go Toilet Spray. At one point during a 2-minute video that had amassed more than 4 million views as of Tuesday morning, the chirpy Scot deadpans in her best high-society English, "Our business is to make it smell like your business never even happened."
Woodruff moved to Utah at 18 and has bounced from the College of Eastern Utah to Utah Valley University to BYU. In the bit, the 21-year-old espouses the odor-masking properties of the toilet spray in a variety of places where it might be embarrassing to use the bathroom. She never imagined she’d get her break waxing poetic about fecal matters.
"It completely happened on a whim," says Woodruff, whose background is in dramatic acting. A BYU adjunct professor, Ben Hopkin, told her about the audition, and she surprised herself by winning over viral marketing whiz Jeffrey Harmon (of the Orabrush campaign that generated more than 40 million YouTube views) and director/writer Joel Ackerman. "I really had no idea that this was going to be my first real big exposure," she said. "Doing something as comedic and crass as this is not [how] I thought I’d start out."
