Doesnt' Craig Wassan look like Bill Maher?

I remember renting and watching Body Double on VHS! back in the 80's. It was cutting edge and ahead of its time!

I always thought the main character was Bill Maher.

Anyone else think that?

Yes I see where you are coming from. There is a resemblance of somewhat.

I thought they were the same person for a loong time.

You thought the same person had two different names ??.

YES OP! I'm like the other poster, I thought they were the same person.

lol, just watched and had the exact same thought.

He could be Maher's double, an 80s Bill Maher anyway.

Incredible resemblance, never mind "somewhat". Until I saw the IMDB cast list, I thought it WAS Maher (his voice is obviously different, but so was Deborah Shelton's).

Either Bill Maher or U2's Bono (circa 1984)...

Yes, they look a lot alike.

Sorry for my cross-posting {it's elsewhere here on the message board}
BUT
Craig Wasson IS Bill Maher..
And I can prove it:
1. they look the same.
2. Wasson's acting career died in the 80's...Maher's comedy one took off then.
3. and the main proof: HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THEM IN A ROOM, TOGETHER?
There...case solved.

Well, my ex-wife's cousin did, she had a 3-way with the two of them in the mid-90s. I even saw the tape. It was really bizarre.

Anyway, it proves they are two separate people.

Let's just end this. Craig Wasson is Bill Maher! Yes, in 1987, Wasson started using the stage name, "Bill Maher".
