how unique are Panther personnel names?

[Clouseau]

taking a lead from pinkadilly's idea, i wondered how many people might share names with actors and folks who made the Pink Panther films... so i went to HowManyOfMe.com, like pinkadilly did, and put in a few actors' names to see what matches it came up with... here's what i found...

Peter Sellers - 98
Blake Edwards - 76
Burt Kwouk - 0
Herbert Lom - 0
David Niven - 20
Graham Stark - 3
Elke Sommer - 0
Tracy Reed - 451
Claudia Cardinale - 2
Ted Wass - 1
Roberto Benigni - 0
Alan Arkin - 1
Shawn Levy - 47
Steve Martin - 1,013
Jean Reno - 17
Kevin Kline - 152
Emily Mortimer - 7
Beyonce Knowles - 0
Roger Rees - 20
Jason Statham - 5

by no means an exhaustive list, but that was about as many as i elt like doing for now... interesting, though, isn't it?

i wonder how some of these people feel, who share their names with famous people... i'd imagine it can be both a blessing and a curse, at times...

[Dreyfus]

Wow there are a lot of Steve Martins

[Clouseau]

yeah, i suppose it's a fairly common name...

i used to go to school with a Kevin Kline...

i was surprised at how many Peter Sellerses there were, though! guess i shouldn't be, but i just never really thought about it...
