North Dakota is working to extend its contract with actor Josh Duhamel to promote tourism in his home state.
Sara Otte Coleman, head of the state’s tourism agency, said the 48-year-old star of several “Transformers” movies has been effective in attracting visitors to the state better known for its brutal cold weather than as a vacation destination.
The Minot native and one of Hollywood’s leading men has been the face of North Dakota and its pitchman since 2013.
He has been paid more than $1 million from the state since then.
His current two-year tourism deal expires in December.
