Mascini also played a role in the 2007 English-language remake Blind Date by Stanley Tucci.
In the Netherlands he is known for his role in Melkunie television commercials and in particular a 1997 commercial which won the Gouden Loeki award for best Dutch commercial of the year. In the commercial Mascini becomes wet as a result of a cow jumping into a swimming pool and his response "Nog zo gezegd: geen bommetje!" (Dutch for "As I clearly said: no cannonball!") became a well-known phrase in the Netherlands. The Melkunie brand was discontinued in 2001 and reintroduced in 2012.{{cite web|url=https://www.ad.nl/economie/peer-mascini-en-zijn-koe-weer-op-de-buis~acc28588/|title=Peer Mascini en zijn koe weer op de buis|first=Martijn|last=Verburg|date=21 August 2012|publisher=AD.nl|accessdate=17 May 2019|archive-date=17 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190517184118/https://www.ad.nl/economie/peer-mascini-en-zijn-koe-weer-op-de-buis~acc28588/|language=Dutch}} Mascini reappeared in various commercials as part of the brand's relaunch.
