Where To Watch
Can you fill in the last names of all these famous people named Buddy?
Are you buddy-buddy enough with these actors and musicians to know their full names?
Before it was associated with athletic golden retrievers and Christmas elves, Buddy was actually a common first name, especially as a stage name. Many performers either kept their nickname from childhood or chose “Buddy” because it was easier to remember than their given name.
Here are ten actors and musicians we know as Buddy. Can you guess each person’s last name?
