Fake names used by many actors and musicians alike (though not all of them) to at least offer them some sort of privacy. There are other reasons that one might change their name (such as their real name being embarrassing, too mundane, too long, or nearly impossible to pronounce) but this is the usual reason.
There are many actors with stage names. To name a few:
-Harry Belafonte (Harold George Bellanfanti Jr.)
-Richard E. Grant (Richard Grant Esterhuysen)
-Marty Balin (Martyn Jerel Buchwald)
-Lou Gehrig (Heinrich Ludwig Gehrig)
-Anne Rice (Howard Allen Frances O'Brien)
-Alan Alda (Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo)
-Tim Allen (Timothy Alan Dick)
-Buddy Holly (Charles Hardin Holley)
-Boris Karloff (William Henry Pratt)
-Trey Parker (Randolph Severn Parker III)

Get the Name Snipesmug. Another word for looking up people's names on Urban Dictionary. A lonely and selfish task, normally done in the dead of night on the empty wastelands of plastic known as "The Keyboard". Commonly done by alisons and daniels, who are admittedly cool enough to get away with it.
Alison: "Hey Danny Boy! What's your fine self doin up in the dead of night?"
Daniel: "Oh you know, just Name-stalking."
Note: Tylers and Morgans cannot complete this action because it goes against their belief in the unity of the subjunctive universe. I would know, Im an Alex.
