Talk:Billy Campbell

Untitled
Campbell's earlier work (e.g. The Rocketeer and Bram Stoker's Dracula) has him credited as "Bill Campbell" rather than as "Billy Campbell." Has he ever explained the reason for the switch? I wonder whether it was to distinguish himself from the actor Bruce Campbell -- perhaps people confused the two. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? El Draque 02:23, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

professional name
When William Campbell was still alive, Bill Campbell was billed as "William O Campbell". I don't know when the change to "Bill Campbell" occurred, but I can't believe that a mature adult actor would call himself "Billy". (Yes, yes... Billy Zane.)

 * His name has changed variously throughout his career. I don't see why "Billy" can't be used for mature actors though. It's not really any different to "Johnny" (Johnny Depp, Johnny Carson, etc). 88.104.17.129 (talk) 00:31, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
