Wow, I didn't know that either. I think that's the norm with actors. You can't have the same names if you're both in the same profession which is I think to avoid confusion.

ohh i never knew that

It would be super confusing

Yes, it would. Some actors have a middle initial to make their name a bit different. Another thing is changing one letter in their name - I can only think of one example right now - David Walliams, who used to be called Williams.

that would be good too. but it might also be confusing for people. I am easily confused though

Oh wow. I often wondered if that's really his family name cause I've never encountered a family name like that.

well a lot of star go with thier middle name than drop it like jenna did she was jennan louise coleman vanessa hudgens did she was vanessa anne hudgens

***One Thing Remains*** · 10-01-2017, 06:11 PM

yeah that would be another way to work around it. I would probably go the middle name route before I would change my name entirely.

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 10-03-2017, 01:43 AM

And then there are those complicated names where you just have to have a middle initial like Michael J. Fox.

New photo of David for "Hang Ups" (new comedy on Channel 4 UK):

thanks for the pic Lindsay

He looks really overworked and stressed out there

I don't even know what the show is about but now I plan to watch it because David's in it.

***One Thing Remains*** · 10-04-2017, 08:49 PM

I haven't heard of it either but I think I want to watch it too
