Andy Lambros (October 29, 1969) was a four-year-old actor who starred in an Oscar Mayer television commercial that first aired in 1973.

The child was filmed fishing on a dock and singing:

My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R.

My bologna has a second name it's M-A-Y-E-R.

Oh I love to eat it every day,

and if you ask my why I'll say,

'cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.

After the song, he said, "How's that?" This was ad-libbed. Lambros said he was becoming impatient with number of takes, as there was much interference with lighting, airplanes and ducks, and he started to ask "How's that?" after each take. The commercial was originally meant to depict five children singing the song. It later became famous and ran for ten years.

Later in life, Lambros opened an exotic pet store in Woodland Hills, California; and ran CyberWeb and AnimalWeb, two Internet-based companies. He appeared on Good Morning America on February 3, 2007, to reminisce about his appearance in the commercial.
