Sure sounds like him and despite the glasses, looks very similar.

No, that's not him. It looks a little like him from some angles, but the jawline is all wrong. Also it's pretty funny but also kind of sad that that ad exists. One of the great things about The Room is how it spreads by word of mouth, not advertising.

The bearded guy is Zach Galafinakis though.

Exactly.... Well, there was the huge billboard in LA that Wisseau used to promote the film. That's how David Cross got to know the film.

Still, the douche in the ad kills the great thing about seeing the Room for the first time.

Yeah, but the billboard was bought and paid for by Wiseau, and told you nothing about the movie except that it had the passion of Tennessee Williams. That billboard is also how I found out about The Room.

Yeah, I remember hearing Kevin Smith make fun of the billboard a few years back and checked out the movie afterwards.
