editCampbell's earlier work (e.g. The Rocketeer and Bram Stoker's Dracula) has him credited as "Bill Campbell" rather than as "Billy Campbell." Has he ever explained the reason for the switch? I wonder whether it was to distinguish himself from the actor Bruce Campbell -- perhaps people confused the two. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? El Draque 02:23, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

professional name
editWhen William Campbell was still alive, Bill Campbell was billed as "William O Campbell". I don't know when the change to "Bill Campbell" occurred, but I can't believe that a mature adult actor would call himself "Billy". (Yes, yes... Billy Zane.)

- His name has changed variously throughout his career. I don't see why "Billy" can't be used for mature actors though. It's not really any different to "Johnny" (Johnny Depp, Johnny Carson, etc). 88.104.17.129 (talk) 00:31, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
