Scorned Acorns wants to share thoughts on acting.

This may seem a little irrelevant but all my life I've been ( i suppose you could call it) haunted by this thought: what if actors' characters always had to keep the same name? i.e. If your name was Walter, than every character you played would be referred to as 'Walter'. This would make the whole celebrity obsession a whole lot easier, because it would be so much simpler to remember all these famous people's names. Also, previews could really get away with some extra intensity by not revealing who is in the movie, but releasing the name. situation:

*gun lying on the table*
"I've got to do it."
(fade to black)
*female lead*
"No, you don't!"
(fade to black)
*Trenchcoat pocket*
"Some things just have to be done."
(fade to black)
*Voiceover*
"It was just a matter of time."
*female lead*
"NO JOHNNY!!!"

PARTS OF THE DEAD FOUR IN THEATHERS MARCH THIRTIETH.

so, who is it?

Depp?

Let's face it, everyone is going to go to this movie hoping that it stars him.

Cena?

(And let's face it, with this kind of script you know you want John Cena more than any other wrestler/actor out there. Besides maybe Dwayne Johnson, but he couldn't be in this movie (see how that works?)

Bravo?

Hells yes! he needs to make a return to the silver screen in a big way. This could be his last chance.

Or a whole bunch of movies like that one charlie chaplin one will be released where there is a ridiculous amount of actors playing the same role.

Now that is a shift in cinema i can get excited for.

Unfortunately this is not ever going to happen. People will be able to display their acting 'chops' under any pseudonym they wish, or rather, the screenwriter wishes. but I am of the opinion that certain celebrity status can overthrow such decisions. Like if Samuel Jackson wanted to be named Loretta in his upcoming action/comedy spoof of rush hour called Yin Yang: Undercover then the studio would succumb to his wishes.

Think about it, if your real name was on every character you will ever play, you would probably try your best in that role, no half-assed Nicolas Cage BS where he can do something as awesome as Adaptation and follow it up with Ghost Rider. Like think about it, that movie COULD have been SOOOO fantastic, the fucking bad-ass story practically writes itself. HOW did they manage to fuck that up? well, if his main character was Nick, maybe it could have turned out better.

Remember he's just an example, pretty much all of Hollywood works like this. i'll give it a little extra effort if you throw in a couple more million. Fuck. These people are professionals.

Imma fuck up T-Swift.
