Line 105:
** Michael Douglas' father, Kirk Douglas was born as Issur Danielovitch.
* [[Robin Williams]] is often credited under assumed names (if he's credited at all) when he does a cameo: "Ray D. Tutto" for ''[[The Adventures of Baron Munchausen]]'', "Sudy Nim" for ''[[A Wish for Wings That Work]]'', "Marty Fromage" for ''[[Shakes the Clown (Film)]]'', "George Spelvin" in ''[[The Secret Agent]]''.
** George Spelvin, in fact, is a rather long-running one. According to ''[[Playbill]]'', back in the early 1900s people were unaccustomed to actors playing more than one part, and so Spelvin was credited with roles taken by an actor credited for a different one already. He became a long-running tradition but was eventually dropped in the late 1980s when audiences became more okay with the idea -- but not before making an appearance in porn with actress Georgina Spelvin.
* Albert L. Einstein, [[Albert Einstein|for obvious reasons]], changed his name to Albert Brooks when he started performing comedy (the inspiration for the surname is homage to [[Mel Brooks]]). His brother Bob Einstein performs as "Super Dave Osborne" for less obvious reasons.
** Obvious reasons? Albert L. Einstein is the best stand-up comedian name ever.
