List of actors who play characters with the same names

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Indiscriminate collection of information. This is just a mixture of;
 * characters who are fictionalized/comedy versions of the actors playing them (Larry David in Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc)
 * characters who are clearly named after the star of the show (Cybil, Roseanne, etc), which is a long-running tradition in sitcoms
 * characters who coincidentally happen to have the same first name (or last name... or middle name) as the actor playing them (Jack Nicholson in The Shining, etc)
 * characters' names that sound a little bit like the actors who are playing them, if you are hard of hearing, (Jackson Stewart played by Jason Earles, Jenna Rink played by Jennifer Garner, etc)

Mildly interesting trivia, but no real connection between all the items on this list, and no encyclopedic value. Saikokira 00:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Interesting perhaps, but as the nom mentioned, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.-- TBC Φ  talk?  01:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete I could understand if it were different actors who played the same character, but as a movie fanatic, it seems pointless. Mghabmw 09:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. The list does not live up to the title. There is not one actor on this list who plays a figure with the same full name, other than characters from shows that are named after their main actor or cases where only the first or last name matches. This is a bad indiscriminate collection of information.--DorisH 23:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all of this is just trivial info...-- Pre ston  H (Review Me!) •  (Sign Here!) 23:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not necessary to throw a long and interminable list like that, categories maybe would be better suited.--JForget 00:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
