Where To Watch
Are these the first or last names of classic TV actors?
Names like Louise, DeForest, Curtis and Christopher have to be… what?
Sometimes when an actor takes a stage name, they simply use their first and middle names. Add to that the fact that a number of actors are born with names that seem tailor-made for a credits sequence and you have a lot of famous faces with two names that could be both first and last names.
We've compiled a list of classic TV actors that either have last names that sound like first names or first names that sound like last names — or both!
Can you tell whether these names come first or last?
