Adrian Veidt, AKA Ozymandias.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan played in the role of Edward Blake/The Comedian .
It's hinted at, but it's not really sure.
The Comedian found out about Ozymandias' plan to destroy many major cities. Ozymandias' view was that Comedian couldn't understand why Ozymandias was doing it and why it was 'good' for the human race. He couldn't let billions die because he didn't want to hurt his friend, so he killed him.
He got Woodward and Bernstein killed, so there was no Watergate, and, with the help of the Comedian and Dr. Manhattan, the war in Vietnam was won, so he was very popular.
no but he plays in the watchmen movie where he is the main villain and trys to get revenge on people and hurts them in it.

Can't tell you the particular commercial, but I recognize the set. It's the Shannon Mews mansion in Vancouver. Some things are occasionally shot there today, but the fountain looks to be in better shape than it is now, so it may actually be an old commercial filmed there...
Watchmen was created in 1987.
The Watchmen ended in 2003.
