The cast used their actual names. TVFactFan 03-21-2006, 03:18 PM I think what Janice is referring to are the names. The cast used their actual names. Except for Ernest and Haywood who used their real last names Brieannas21 03-21-2006, 03:19 PM Yeah I noticed it. Ireneparalegal 03-22-2006, 03:27 AM It's pretty cool. Danielle Spencer - Dee Thomas Haywood Nelson -Dwayne Nelson Fred Berry - Fred "Rerun" Stubbs Mabel King -Mabel Thomas Shirley Hemphill -Shirley Earl Thomas -Roger Thomas. His name wasn't Earl. His name was Ernest Lee Thomas. Brian Damage 03-28-2006, 10:46 AM The writers weren't exactly original with all those names. JeffRuss1972 03-28-2006, 11:41 AM I think they did that some on Sanford and Son too. Wasn't Bubba's last name Bexley (actor was Don Bexley)? CindyRoxiesLair2006 04-01-2006, 09:57 AM That's right! JeffRuss, that is so true about the same "character name irony" applying to Sanford & Son. "Bubba Bexley" was played by Don Bexley. Same last name and all! Great point made there. :wave: And as far as the WH character name irony goes, yes I noticed that right away. Particularly about Danielle Spencer, who goes by the nickname Dee in real life. She also goes by the nickame of Dani, which is super-cute. And yes, it's pronounced like the boy's name (e.g.: as in Danny Bonaduce). ;) :p Also, one of Haywood's middle names (yes, he has more than one middle name; two to be exact) is DeWayne. :cool: :talk: jayjay814 07-31-2006, 03:29 AM Sanford and Son used alot of real names too, but in a more creative way. Fred Sanford was actually the name of Redd Foxx's real life brother. And Grady Wilson was the name of the guy who played Fred's son, Lamont. So one of Fred's best friend on the show was "Grady Wilson" TVFactFan 07-31-2006, 11:01 AM Sanford and Son used alot of real names too, but in a more creative way.
