* [[All Asians Are Alike]]: Got hit with this hard when the ''[[Green Hornet]]'' [[The Green Hornet (film)|remake]] came out in early 2011.

Even ''IMDB'' screwed this up at one point. The confusion might also have had something to do with their [[One Steve Limit|similar-sounding names]].

* [[Preacher's Kid]]: His father is a Christian minister.
