Hi,

I'm wondering if Bill and William B. Doane are the same person.

Pros:
The following sites consolidate credits of both of them under one name:
- http://www.hollywood.com/celebrities/william-b-doane-57736826/
- http://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/739618/William-B-Doane
The production dates of the films of William B. match into the summary of Bill
All theatrical work of Billl seem to credited as William B. - at least if IMDB ist trustworthy ;-)

Cons:
There are two different sites for him in IMDB
The IMDB knows the fact, that Bill is credited as William B in his theatrical work.

Anybody out there who is wiser than me?

I don't know anything for certain but I think it is interesting that Bill Doane is almost exclusively credited for TV work and William B. Doane for two big budged Hollywood movies. My guess is that they are two separate persons and that the two "as William B. Doane" credits don't actually belong to the Bill Doane profile but to the other one.

But this is only guesswork and I don't know how we can find out what is correct.
Recently bought films:

The Matrix [Blu-ray] | Shirins Wedding [DVD] | The Graduate [Blu-ray] | Prometheus [Blu-ray 3D] | Hwal [DVD]

People use differnet names for different work all the time. Just saw one yesterday Barbara Harris as Head of a voice actor group but in the actually cast list of voice actors, she is credited as Barbara Iley.

Personally, I do believe that they're one and the same, but proving that beyond reasonable doubt is just as difficult as proving they're not...

I realized this division between theatrical and TV work too. I took this as a hint that both credits are the same person, but couldn't find any real proof...
