Who?
Would you believe...Don Adams is one of the many actors and actresses who changed last names for the screen and stage. Many actors took new identities for personal, political, artistic or business reasons. Other actors heard SAG say, "Sorry about that, chief!" and were forced to change names since each Guild member must have a unique name.

What were Dick Sargent's parents thinking when they named him Richard Cox? If there's such a thing as power in names.....
