Right, and when the guy who played Ziggy Stardust did actual movies, what was he credited as? Oh yeah that's right...
Same with Meatloaf in Fight Club. Same as every Kid n Play movie....
meat loaf was credited as meat loaf in the opening credits and meat loaf aday in the end credits
Maybe he was, it's been years since I've seen the movie and was going based on memory.
He was generally credited as David Bowie in most things. Which also wasn't his real name. Meatloaf on most billing was Meatloaf in large letters. I'm sure his name may have appeared in small letters at the end credits in a couple places. But when they wanted people's attention it was always meatloaf.
Honestly though I can't believe someone hasn't already made a game or an app that features all the real names of celebrities and you have to guess who it is. If they haven't I should make it.
