There are lots of reasons why someone would use a stage name.

Usually it is so they will have a more memorable name.
Caryn Johnson became “Whoopi Goldberg” for example.

Another reason is because they share a name with an already famous person.
Albert Brooks’s real name is Albert Einstein!

If you get a chance to meet an actor or actress. Do you call them by their stage name or their official name?

Example, Would I say aren’t you Tim Allen? Or would I say aren’t you Timothy Dick?

Albert Brooks’s real name is Albert Einstein!Wow now we know who Albert Einstein is :)

If you ever meet anybody, you probably should call them by their stage name.

They would think you were going to serve them court papers otherwise!
