I just watched a movie with this guy in it and spent the entire time half focused on whether or not it was Bill Murray that I was seeing. It turns out that he's actually Bill Murray's brother. I didn't know this guy's name before and I had no idea the two are related. Now I'm wondering how many times I've seen him in things and thought I was watching Bill Murray.

Mind Blown!

They are looking a little more alike as they get older but BDM has always looked kind of old and short compared to Bill Murray.

That makes sense. In the costume I saw him in (Cabin Boy) along with the intentionally gruff sailor voice it was truly hard for me to tell. I bet it's easier to tell them apart side by side, but trust me the second the credits rolled I had to check if that was Bill Murray.

Bill says Brian is the funnier of the two.

I just saw his board icon picture pop up and it made me think of Noah Vanderhoff from Wayne's World. Sure enough it was Brian. He really does look a lot less like Bill without the facial hair and I had no idea how many times I had seen this guy in movies before. Still tripping out that he's Bill Murray's brother.
