    Default Actors or actresses who have the same English names?

    Not many people have the same name for actors or actresses. But when they take an American name, sometimes there is just that. Actors or actresses with the same name.

    There are two Tony Leung.

    Is there anyone else that have the same English name (first and last)?

    Current list...will update as more are discovered.

    Tony Leung
    Maggie Cheung
    Anthony Wong
    Benny Chan
    Alex Fong
    Raymond Wong
    Michael Wong
    Kathy Chow

    ^ Yes there is.

    Actually, I think a more interesting thread would be "Which actor or actress has the weirdest English name?" Sometimes I really don't know how they came up with some of these names. It's confuzzling.

    You can always start a new thread on it. Though I do believe I have seen a similar thread somewhere in another forum on spcnet.
