Choosing which name to be credited by is a bigger deal than it might seem. It’s the only name most of the public will know, whether it’s an actor’s real name or not. Some people choose an easily pronounceable moniker, some go with the most formal version of their given name and others use the nickname they go by with family and friends.
Everyone in this quiz falls in the latter category. They’ve all rejected the formal name Robert and have chosen to forever be known as Bob. You may recognize these famous Bobs but can you remember their last names?

You got 11 out of 13 - You called this quiz perfectly! Great job! - Missed #9 (never heard of Bob Balaban or any of the three choices) and #13 (I knew it wasn't Robert Vaughn and I heard of Bobby Rydell so I guessed him). Never heard of Bob Gaudio but I should have guessed him because he's known as "Bob" and not "Robert" or "Bobby". DUH!! But I'll take it.
10/13
Gaudio & Balaban tripped me up.
Missed the last one, guessed at #9.

Okay, I Googled. He was with The Four Seasons; is no longer with the band, but still owns a stake, apparently.
