Even as far back as Moonlighting, you could tell that Bruce would be top knot challenged.
Agreed. But Bruce really suits the bald look right? Every time i see him wearing a wig in some of his latest movies i cringe. He has made jokes about wearing wigs in movies on ‘The Late Show’ with David Letterman. Check it out on Youtube.
