Same Name, Entertainment Edition - Random Trivia Questions

As unusual as my last name is (it's an old transliteration of an uncommon name), there are still at least a dozen of us that share both our first and last name. When I first Googled my name (way back in the day when AltaVista was my search engine of choice), several others showed up pretty high in the results. Now, I'm the first ten hits and most of the top fifty. Unfortunate for people looking for another Robert Jen.

The same thing happens if you Google for a friend who happens to share a name with someone famous (a Google twin). But neither of these scenarios are likely to be common queries. For this week's quiz, all of the answers are names that are shared by two famous people, either of which you might be looking for. Tough luck if you seek the less popular one.
