Peter O'Toole: screen name most wasted on a non-porn actor?

Offa's Dyke never got it on with anyone. :D

And as far as I know Rip van Winkle didn't do much sleeping around.

And what sort of name is Diedrich Knickerbocker for a self respecting male writer. (Author of Rip van Winkle) :confused:

Will's
 
If only he would pronounce it properly

Dick Cavett would be a special name, also. ;)
 
I don't know about porn names, but Peter Boyle always sounded really painful to me.

Maybe Dick Butkus as a gay porn star? Scary thought.
 
Hmmmmmmm

How about the old time actress 'Constance Cummings', real name not made up.

It was an old school boy joke of ours, 'Constance Cummings' and her little sister 'Sticky'.

pops............:cool:
 
In keeping with the thread, here's a reversal for you.

Given name: Mimi Chesterton

Stage name: Claudia Jennings (first adopted when she appeared as Miss November, 1969, and later, Playmate of the Year - went on to a B Movie career).
 
In the late 50s and early 60s I recall a number of Rod's among starlet-type men.

Some Famous Dicks

Dick Webber - the circus trainer in 1984's "Goldy: The Last of the Golden Bears" - who, sadly, was never considered for the role of Spidermen.

Dick Candy - whose billing was ‘Senate Speaker' in 1987's "Three for the Road" (No relation to John Candy, although that name also sounds rather pornish, come to think of it)

Dick Fuchs - who appeared as Howard Carlisle in 1979's "The North Avenue Irregulars" deserves all our condolences.

Dick Agin - but that could be said of anybody who appeared in the 1986 film, "The Patriot."

Dick Barber - who, in 1971, portrayed Bif Debris (The Vacuum Cleaner) in "200 Motels," but anything directed by Frank Zappa is pretty far from mainstream already.

Dick Candoo - who really is a porn star, although he sounds more like a pornographic power generator, and pornster Dick Keester deserves special merit, as does one of his co-stars, Ginger Bush .

Two deceased dicks: Dick Sargent - the first Bewitched "Durwood." and "Yellow Submarine" contributor Dick Emory has always seemed rather abrasive in a slightly risque fashion.

Dick van de Poll - who appeared in "Daniel" the 1971 Netherlands' comedy.

Dick Smothers - who, oddly enough, was smothered by TV censorship.

And, finally, Dick Cheney - whose name, I have always thought, sounds like he should be starring in a BDSM flick.
 
Know a guy whose name is Dick Long. Since he was in the military, I always wondered how much shit he caught since they always go Last Name, First Name.
 
My dad has a friend who, I swear, is named Jack Off. What kind of parents do that to a kid? LOL. They didn't even name him John and everyone just calls him Jack. It's right there on his birth certificate: Jack Off.

Of course, maybe I shouldn't be so hard on the parents. With a last name like Off, how could you really resist? :)
 
Not that it's pornographic in the least, but I have relatives in Brazil, who are descendants from Swedes who emigrated to Brazil in the 1800, and who still today are doing their best to keep the tradition of having Swedish names alive.

Unfortunately, no-one is alive any more to explain to them the difference between first and last names, which has resulted in my distant cousin Andersson Nilsson.:rolleyes:

My last company had everyone attend a seminar on sexual harrasment, conducted by a Ms. Bambi Cummings.

There was a lot of Beavis 'n Butthead giggling from the back of the class.

"She said cummings."

"Heh-heh-heh."

"She said sexual."

"Her -ass -mint!"

(In this case, the Beavises and Buttheads were ages 25-65)
