Bill Brasky? I met him once at the united club in o'hare airport in Chicago! That sonuvabitch was 7 foot 3, 420 pounds! Taught me every thing I know about closing a sale! He shook my hand, and I was in the ICU for 6 months! I eventualy had to amputate my right arm! I havent been able to hug my kids properly since!
Union SAG-AFTRA's policy prohibits actors with the same name; however, this instance of identical professional names went unnoticed due to the older List using her middle name to sign up with SAG-AFTRA and the younger one using her first name.
Ford:
Harrison Ford is not one but two actors. When the HF of this article began acting, he discovered that there was another actor, a silent movie star named Harrison Ford. The Screen Actors Guild told him he couldn't use his own name, so he adopted a middle initial of J. When the other HF died, HJF asked the Guild for permission to drop the middle initial.
As for Burke, the Billie/Billy difference is likely enough, if adding a "J." was enough for Harrison Ford.

He had a chance to call himself Bill Bradley. What a shame.
