You ever notice that some actors seem to play different characters with the same name for several years? I always thought it made it easier to remember your lines if you associated this new character with one you had played before.
But lately, I've noticed actors playing characters with their first names. Eddie Cibrian is playing a PI named Eddie on Take Two. And tonight I just started watching a new show called A Discovery of Witches, starring Matthew Goode playing, you guessed it, a vampire named Matthew!
Maybe it's less confusing on set? When they call the actors, maybe they use character names. I don't know. I'm just waiting for Meryl Streep to play a fictional character named Meryl Streep.
