David Walliams #2

[Fannii Minogue]

It's nothing to do with his narcissistic tendencies (which I don't dispute) but more likely to do with Equity rules; if someone else had already registered the name 'David Williams', then he'd have to choose a different stage name.

How come out of interests?

There’s two famous Brian Coxes, two famous Michelle Williams, two famous Chris Evanses etc. Find it a bit odd that Equity can’t accept that two people may just have the same names. It happens.

Of all the DW things you could be annoyed about right now,this is not it He changed it for equity reasons because there was already an actor with the same name.

Yeah but surely we can all agree it was a tit, attention seeking name to choose. I've always thought that despite being aware of Equity rules, so it's just one more reason to despise the odious creep.

It's only for British actors.

Not sure if this has been mentioned as still going through last few pages but I was watching room on the broom by Julia Donaldson with my daughter yesterday and noticed he's in it. Wonder if they will remove that although maybe less likely as his face isn't really associated with it just his voice.

I can’t stand him, I don’t watch him, walliams, brand, fielding, Lucas, corden or carr. Immediate off or over.

edited to add wallace.

QMLAN to say the last carr is Jimmy
