Hey all, I just have a question. Hope you're all well though...
Do you think it's smart to change your 'real life name' (not internet name) for a movie. I was told it's safer. And if you do change your name, is it your whole name? Last name? Do you rearrange the letters to make a new name? What if you don't want to be cast with specific roles?
Some people might hate me for this but...I'm sure that when Jennifer Lopez was starting out she didn't want to get stuck with being casted in "latino" roles. So if J-Lo changed her name to something (i'm just going with what's popping in my head right now) irish like Kathrin O'Genarell would she get the same roles/offers?
At the same time I wouldn't want to change it to something like "Misty Blue"...I wanted pen names not porn names
What do you guys out there think?
Thanks in advance,
--Ember
