to appear in advertisements


Explanation:
Some additional context would be helpful, but it appears that this would mean that the person in question has/will "appear in advertisements" (presumably on television).

act in commercials, to be cast in commercials


Explanation:
(1) If it's someone who can act (an actor, a professional), then you can safely say "act in a commercial".

"acted in commercials" site:uk (UK sites)

"acted in commercials" site:-uk (non-UK sites)
http://tinyurl.com/4m87j4


(2) If the participant probably doesn't do "real" acting then you can use a very popular idiom of "to be cast in...".
Examples: animals, little children and amateur actors often "are cast" rather than "act".
But you can use "to be cast" also about actors because it's more general.
Although its dictionary meaning is "to be chosen for a role" (etc.), what matters is often the result, i.e., "was cast..." would quite certainly mean that they indeed did act/appear in the commercial.
