No, but fans still hope.

He never made an official announcement. The closest he came was in a rare interview on CNN's "Larry King Live" in July 2004, when King asked him if he was working on a new film.

"No, it's probably all over." This was said pretty lightly, and he went on to joke about such an offhand comment being his big retirement announcement, but it has nonetheless proven true.

"Wayne's World" was filled with long-haired, rock 'n' roll types -- including, of course, Wayne himself -- so it's hard to say for sure which one you're referring to. But it wasn't Brendan Fraser.

That said, the confusion's understandable -- as you point out, quite a few of Fraser's early successes involved him sporting the unkempt mane of hair that has long been a rock music hallmark.
