The moment Scott Baio stepped onto the Hollywood scene as the charming Chachi Arcola on Happy Days, he cemented his status as a teen idol. His career, spanning decades and hits like Charles in Charge, has been defined by his iconic face. Now, a new generation of fans watching the hit CBS sitcom Ghosts is experiencing a wave of déjà vu, convinced the veteran actor has materialized among the Woodstone spirits. Yet, the question remains: is this a genuine Baio sighting, or is this simply a delightful case of mistaken identity?

Who was the actual face that appeared in the sitcom Ghosts?

Scott Baio does not appear in the CBS sitcom Ghosts; the actor fans are seeing is Ben Feldman, who guest-starred as the character Kyle. The confusion stems from a widely noted resemblance between Ben Feldman and a younger Scott Baio, particularly in his Happy Days and Charles in Charge era. Feldman's guest role as Kyle, a living person who also sees the ghosts at Woodstone Mansion, created professional jealousy for Jay.

The character Kyle appeared in the Season 4 episode named after him. His ability to interact with the spirits, a power usually exclusive to Sam and the ghosts themselves, provides a temporary complication for Jay. The visual similarity between Feldman and Baio’s classic look is so strong that many viewers immediately assumed the actor was related to or actually Scott Baio.

This resemblance is the source of ongoing fan chatter, bridging the gap between classic and modern television comedies, and definitely not happening for the first time

The resemblance between the voice actor of Long Story Short, Ben Feldman and Scott Baio has been a consistent talking point among fans on social media, with many commenting on how much Feldman looks like Baio did in his earlier career. The comparison is so prevalent that few viewers of Superstore, a previous show where Ben Feldman starred as Jonah, found reasons to reference him looking like Scott Baio. This demonstrates that the comparison is widely recognised beyond the CBS series.

Few people even noted the similarities, and others even questioned whether Feldman is Baio's son or a relative. While other users from Reddit noted, he thought it was Scott on the show Ghosts, but thought no way he did not age at all. The resemblance is often seen as being particularly strong in Feldman's mannerisms and voice, beyond a mere physical likeness, such as their overall face shape and bone structure. Both actors have dark brown hair.
