The Danza | comment |
A character whose name is clearly taken from the performer portraying them. This shows up on TV a lot in shows designed as a vehicle for an actor's fame. By lending their name to the fictional character, there's some familiarity created already. The most obvious way to spot this is to see if the title of the show incorporates the lead actor's name, but not always. This seemed to hit its peak in the sitcoms of the late eighties and early nineties. A good majority of sitcoms were based on a stand-up comedian's routine (Tim Allen, Roseanne Barr) and many of these comics already were developing fanbases. Creating the Danza was a way to leverage their fame as a comic into success as an actor. Another common reason for doing this is that if an actor is famous enough, people will always refer to them by their real name even when discussing them as a fictional character (unless, of course, the character they are portraying is even more iconic, with the exception of said character being played by different actors and/or in multiple media). To avoid the annoyance or awkwardness of this character being constantly referred to as "[Famous name's] character", it's often best to just give them the same first name. Sometimes this is used for child actors, to make things a little less confusing around the set. This change can happen very late in the production when during shooting it's found that the (very young) child actor does not grasp the concept of a character name different from their real name at all: to give an example, the character name of a toddler actress called Ava being changed to Ava from the originally planned Elizabeth when young Ava doesn't respond or react to Elizabeth. Also sometimes used for token ethnic minority characters, where it seemed that the program's staff were frightened to think up an original name and just used the name of the actor. In rare cases, it's an accident — the actor chosen to play the character just happened to share a name with the character. From a directing point of view, using this trope also reduces the number of filming errors, since the actors all go by their real name (or at least, real first name), so the very real (and surprisingly common) mistake of accidentally addressing their colleagues by their real name instead of their character's name is ruled out, cutting down the need of retakes. This was the main advantage of the trope back in the day when film (which cannot be reused and have to be disposed of or archived if a mistake was made) was the main recording medium and has since been lessened with the advent of erasable magnetic media and later, digital. However, it does still save time and effort with the minimization of retakes. It's not a Danza if the character already has the name from an adaptation; in such a case the character is not being named for the actor. Additionally, it's not The Danza if a performer uses their real first name as part of a Stage Name. Not to be confused with an actor or celebrity actually playing themselves. That's As Himself (if they're a main character) or Special Guest (if they show up for a single episode). How to differentiate? Is Bob the Actor playing Bob the Actor? Or does he just happen to be playing a character that's also named Bob? The second one is The Danza. Compare Character as Himself, Adam Westing, Ink-Suit Actor. See also Author Avatar. If The Danza is the writer, then it may be Write Who You Know as well as Author Avatar. Named for Tony Danza, whose frequent portrayal of people named Tony (see Taxi and Who's the Boss?) has made him the butt of a few jokes, for example, this one for April Fools Day from Teevee.org. See this article at IMDB for another list. |

In many episodes of El ChapulÃn Colorado, the supporting cast is named after the actors who play them: therefore, we have Carlos Villagrán as Carlos, Ramón Valdés as Ramón, Rubén Aguirre as Rubén and so on. Roberto Gomez Bolaños (a.k.a. Chespirito) once explained he did this to allow the actors to form a bond with their characters (even though they were mostly just innocent bystanders). Conversely, in El Chavo del ocho, Doña Florinda, Don Ramón and Doña Nieves are respectively played by Florinda Meza, Ramón Valdés and Maria Antonieta de las Nieves. | |

In The Pretender, Andrea Parker plays female lead character Miss Parker, but this is apparently a genuine coincidence. On the other hand, her mooks are first-name Danzas (with no last name) to a man, apparently as an acknowledgement that it's not worth the effort of giving them real names. | |

Cheers: Harry Anderson as "Harry the Hat". Anderson had used "Harry the Hat" as a stage name for years before appearing on TV, when he was a stage magician and real-life con man, making it in some ways even more of a Danza than usual. Several background characters were named after their actors, such as Paul Wilson as Paul, Paul Vaughn as a different Paul, Thomas Babson as Tom, Phil Perlman as Phil, etc. In one episode, Woody is cast in Our Town and has this to say of his costar: "The girl who's playing Emily is a terrific actress. I mean, actually, she's got kind of an advantage because her real name is Emily. She don't even have to learn to answer to a different name." |

A few Disney animated features have this trope as well, including: In The Three Caballeros, Professor Holloway is voiced by Sterling Holloway, of course. Peggy Lee as Peg from Lady and the Tramp. Louis Prima as King Louie from The Jungle Book (1967). Disney originally intended to cast Louis Armstrong for the role until they realized the Unfortunate Implications of casting a black man as an ape and chose Prima (who was Italian-American) instead, who coincidentally also fit this trope. Scatman Crothers as Scat Cat from The Aristocats. The character was originally named Satchmo Cat and intended to be voiced by Louis Armstrong. Susan Hegarty as the Rescue Lady from Lilo & Stitch. While her name is not verbally mentioned, it does appear on Lilo's adoption paper for Stitch. Annette Bening and Catherine O'Hara, respectively as Anda and Kata the female moose from Brother Bear 2. Bolt provides a variation: the titular dog stars in the Bolt TV show, where he plays (or more accurately, has been convinced he is) a superpowered dog named Bolt. His owner, who's adopted Bolt some time before the show and who plays Penny in the same show, is another variant: while her real name is never spoken by any humans outside the show, the show uses Enforced Method Acting to convince Bolt everything in the show is real, so her real name is probably also Penny. An unusual and ingenious case is with marine Markowski in the Polish dub version of Wreck-It Ralph: Markowski is voiced by the lead singer of the legendary rock band named Perfect. The real name of the singer is Grzegorz Markowski! Zootopia has Bonnie Hopps played by Bonnie Hunt. In the Polish dub of Chicken Little Melvin and Tina are renamed Piotruś and Edytka after their voice actors, Piotr Machalica and Edyta Olszówka. |

Much of the movies in the Carry On... Series had characters that had the same name as the actors. The actor that got this the most was Sid James, who had six characters named "Sid". Carry On Camping, meanwhile, had the most with Sid Boggle, Joan Fussey, Bernie Lugg, Charlie Muggins, Babs, and Dr. Kenneth Soaper (the latter being confirmed by Word of God). Additionally, Jim Tanner (played by Julian Holloway) was intended to played by Jim Dale. | |

The Simpsons: Ray Romano voices a character named Ray Magini in the episode "Don't Fear the Roofer". His name turns out to subvert Significant Anagram as everyone but Homer simply missed seeing him due to a series of increasingly improbable circumstances. John Waters voices a character named John (though with no surname given) in the earlier episode "Homer's Phobia". (Amusingly, Homer befriends both of these characters in their respective appearances only to renounce those relationships.) And Carice van Houten supplies the voice of Milhouse's cousin Annika Van Houten in "Let's Go Fly A Coot." Lunchlady Doris was originally voiced by script supervisor Doris Grau. Grau also voiced Doris Grossman, Jay Sherman's makeup lady on The Critic. |

In The King of Comedy, Jerry Lewis plays a character named Jerry Langford. The character was named Robert Langford in the script, and Lewis suggested the change upon learning that they would be filming scenes in the streets of New York City; Lewis' character is supposed to be a celebrity in-universe, so if any passers-by recognized him and shouted "Jerry!" during a scene, they could just Throw It In! instead of having to do another take. | |

The character-tagging phenomenon began in the Dream SMP fandom. It started during the Exile Arc, to prevent people outside the fandom from assuming Dream the content creator is a child abuser like his roleplay character counterpart. However, the full names of the characters are usually distinct from those of the content creators, as the characters' full names are typically based on their screen names and/or any nicknames they accumulated, e.g. Philza Minecraft being portrayed by Philip Watson. Speaking of Phil specifically, in the spin-off series Tales From the SMP episode "The Pit", there is a character named Watson, who is evidently named after Philza, who played him and has 'Watson' as his surname in real life (as stated above). |

Notable aversion in the English dub of Tales of Vesperia, with the main character Yuri Lowell not being played by veteran Tales voice actor Yuri Lowenthal. The actual voice actor, Troy Baker, did get some joke mileage out of this one though: "How bad is it when they start naming characters after voice actors? 'I wanna read for this guy, what's his name?' 'Er...Vic Migna.'" | |

This only happened once in Power Rangers, because in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers through Power Rangers Turbo, Catherine Sutherland played Katherine "Kat" Hillard; likely a coincidence, considering it started as a Meaningful Name (she could turn into a cat in her introductory arc)... It has technically happened twice but only if you know that Austin St. John's real name is Jason Geiger. Most fans, unless they find the information out as an adult, don't realize it until they google it, as the actor uses his stage name. He played Jason Lee Scott in the first and second seasons, plus subsequent appearances in Power Rangers Zeo, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Power Rangers Wild Force, and Power Rangers Beast Morphers. | |

Sesame Street: Bob McGrath as Bob Johnson and Linda Bove as Linda. In a roundabout way, the character Gordon's last name was eventually revealed to be Robinson. This was long after Matt Robinson's term as the character, and this is thus more of a Mythology Gag (Gordon is currently played by Roscoe Orman). Miles Orman (who was also Roscoe Orman's real-life son) was Miles Robinson. Buffy Sainte-Marie as Buffy in early seasons, probably because she was basically Buffy Sainte-Marie living on Sesame Street. Her then-husband Sheldon Wolfchild and their son Dakota also appeared as Sheldon and Cody. |

This created an interesting situation during his run on The Late Show when he wanted to perform segments as his prior character, but they were warned that "Stephen Colbert" was still owned by Comedy Central. In response, rather than having Stephen Colbert's Stephen Colbert appear, Stephen Colbert introduced Stephen Colbert's suspiciously similar cousin, Stephen Colbert. They made it very clear that the character was a coincidentally-identically-named relative of the other, and they were therefore not violating Comedy Central's intellectual property claim. | |

Digimon Adventure did this for some of the kids' parents' first names. The parents were probably named after their voice actors, as most of the parents' voices were the same as some of the kids or their Digimon, and some of their names were All There in the Manual. Yuko Mizutani (Sora) as Yuko Yagami, Hiroaki Hirata (Narrator) as Hiroaki Ishida, Toshiko Fujita (Taichi) as Toshiko Takenouchi, Masami Kikuchi (Jou) as Masami Izumi... The dub of Digimon Adventure 02 renamed the Australian boy Dingo as "Derek", voiced by Derek Stephen Prince. |

Star Trek Novelverse: The Star Trek: The Lost Era novel Serpents Among the Ruins gives the name of the unnamed Starfleet captain played by Madge Sinclair in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home as Madge Sinclair-Alexander (the "Alexander" coming from the Voyage Home Novelization.) The Star Trek: The Original Series novel Burning Dreams, about the life of Captain Pike, says he was born Christopher McKinnies. McKinnies was Jeffrey Hunter's real surname. The Original Series novel Crucible: Kirk - The Star To Every Wandering gives Antonia from Star Trek: Generations the surname Salvatori, after actress Lynn Salvatori. |

The Owl House: Principal Bump is voiced by Bumper Robinson. Luz's history teacher Mr. Sandoval is voiced by Stephen Sandoval. There's also a variation with the in-universe book series Cosmic Frontier, which is an obvious parody of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Naturally, Sisko's counterpart is named Captain Avery after Avery Brooks. |

Every character in the Australian mockumentary series The Games is named for their actor — for example, Frank Woodley playing, well, Dr. Frank Woodley (who is "partially" a TV vet in the episode). This was lampshaded in the second season when the actor John Howard played a political representative pretending to be then real-life Prime Minister John Howard, making a public apology for Australia's historically poor treatment of indigenous people (something the actual Prime Minister Howard refused to do), for the benefit of various foreign dignitaries; Brian remarks on the fraud, since he's not the Prime Minister, to which Gina replies "He didn't say he was; he said he was John Howard speaking to you from Sydney, Australia", making the point that no one outside Australia would be expected to know what the Prime Minister looks like. | |

Lucky Star: Minoru Shiraishi is voiced... by Minoru Shiraishi. It goes further than that, since Shiraishi plays himself (or a version of himself that's only slightly older than Akira) in the Lucky Channel segments... who plays a character named Minoru Shiraishi in the main program. Patricia Martin's character has been confirmed to be inspired by Patricia Ja Lee. And then, in the English dub, was actually voiced by Patricia Ja Lee. Clerk Sugita is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita. Shiraishi also played an aspiring voice actor named Shiraishi in Kiddy GiRL-AND. |

Games made by Skip Ltd. (such as Chibi-Robo! and Captain Rainbow) frequently feature a black-and-white dog named Tao, who is usually portrayed as somewhat lazy and often very hungry. Tao was the actual dog of Skip's creative director, looked exactly like his fictional counterparts, and... was somewhat lazy and often very hungry. (The real dog died in 2009, but the fictional version will live on in games forevermore.) | |

Many of the supporting cast on The Office (US) share first names with their characters, including Phyllis, Angela, and Oscar. Creed Bratton plays a fictionalized version of himself, so he skirts into As Himself territory. The reason for some supporting officemates retaining first names is that many of them are Ascended Extras. Also, Michael screens a movie starring himself as Michael Scarn, an obvious Author Avatar. |

In Detective Conan (AKA Case Closed in North America): Several police officers were named after their voice actors. Detective Wataru Takagi is named after his voice actor, but other minor police officers bear the surnames of their respective voice actors (for example, Isshin Chiba). Conan's voice actor double-roles in a two-parter as herself, the lead singer for the band Two-Mix. Shuichi Akai is named after both, Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam and his voice actor Shūichi Ikeda. Ikeda eventually voices Akai. Akai's opponent Tooru Amuro is named after both, Amuro Ray from Mobile Suit Gundam and his voice actor Tōru Furuya. Furuya eventually voices Tooru Amuro. This name turns out to be a fake, and his real name is Rei Furuya, still named after both, Amuro Ray and Toru Furuya. |

The Blacklist had Mozhan Marnò play Samir Navabi. Navabi is her real surname - she reverted back to using it in 2023, commenting she'd changed it because of some bad professional advice earlier in her career. At the time of her casting, the producers asked her for options for an Iranian surname and in the list of 15, she threw in "Navabi" as a joke and that was the one they went for. | |

In NewsRadio, Dave Nelson was played by Dave Foley and Joe Garelli was played by Joe Rogan. Phil Hartman's character Bill McNeal was intentionally named to be almost a Danza. In the episode "Chock", Dave's old a cappella singing group stops by, the other three members being named David, Bob, and Brian. They were played by Mr. Show alums David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, and Brian Posehn. | |

The Farndale Avenue plays are a series of supposedly amateur productions that always descend into (actually carefully choreographed) chaos. At least once in each play, the production's harried director, David, will emerge from backstage to try and get things back under control. In the original stagings, David was played by the actual director and co-writer David McGillivray. | |

The Angry Video Game Nerd, played by James Rolfe, can be seen typing "Jame" on the name entry screen of Winter Games before realizing there's a four-character limit, and Spider-man calls him James while making fun of him. For added fun, Rolfe plays another character named Board James, who may or may not be the Nerd's alter-ego, thus making both of them the same James (but still a different James from James Rolfe). | |

Metal Gear Solid has a coincidental example with Solid Snake's real name of "David", which happens to be the first name of his English voice actor, David Hayter. In reality, the name "David" was already decided during the Japanese voice recording, which was completed before the English voice actor for Snake was even chosen. It actually came from the main character in 2001: A Space Odyssey, as well as Meryl Silverburgh's partner from Policenauts. | |

Bless This House featured Sid James (of Carry On fame) as Sid Abbott, and Sally Geeson as Sally Abbott. Plus, the 1972 feature film version contains a meta-aversion (by virtue of the fact that it became a notable example later): Terry Scott and June Whitfield played new neighbours Ronald and Vera Baines — the first outing of (and virtually identical to) the on-screen couple that would later make them a Britcom cliché (see Terry and June above). | |

Saturday Night Live had a few of these in the early years, including Headmaster of the New York School for the Hard of Hearing, Garrett Morris. (The first six or seven years had a lot of first-name examples as well — the 'WASP Translator' sketch with Ray Sharkey centered around a couple named Charles and Ann. Guess which cast members played them.) Later on, in a move of notable laziness, Chris Farley's character was referred to simply as "Farley". | |

Bob Lennon always names his characters (when their names are not explicitly given), "Bob" or some variations (such as in Aventures where his robot character is named 808). Likewise, any cat he finds tends to be named Wilfried after his real-life cat. | |

David Hewlett as David Worth in Cube. This might be chalked up to coincidence if not for the fact that Hewlett and director Vincenzo Natali have been good friends since high school — because of this he probably had some input in choosing his character's full name. | |

Almost the entire cast of Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist is named after their voice actor's first name with no last name given (Laura Silverman as Laura, Todd Barry as Todd). Even the guests that appear on the show are credited as "Dave as Dave Attell". There are only three exceptions to this rule: Dr. Jonathan Katz uses his full name, Benjamin Katz was named after his actor's last name (most likely because his first name is Jon and that would be confusing), and Stanley's voice actor is Will Le Bow. | |

Welcome to Night Vale: Cecil Palmer is voiced by Cecil Baldwin. Until episode 34, the general assumption was that character and actor shared the same surname as well. Amusingly enough, Baldwin didn't actually know the character's name at first (the credits just listed him as "The Voice of Night Vale", and it wasn't really important). A few episodes in the script finally revealed his name was Cecil, and Baldwin had to go check with the creator to find out whether or not NV-Cecil was meant to be someone other than himself. It's pretty common on WTNV. Intern Maureen is played by Maureen Johnson, Kevin is played by Kevin R. Free, and Lauren Mallard is played by Lauren Sharp. |

In Blue Is the Warmest Color: The protagonist Clémentine is renamed Adèle after her actress Adèle Exarchopoulos because the director included scenes where the actress wasn't acting for the camera and was being called by name by the crew, feeling it was very natural and suited the movie. Averted by Léa Seydoux. She refused to have her character's name be changed to her own name as one of the conditions she had for playing the part of Emma. Among these other conditions are: she will not smoke real cigarettes because she has quit smoking two years before, she will not have real sex on camera, and she will not wear her own clothes for the film. Apart from these, she said that she is ready to do anything that Kechiche will require her for any of the scenes. |

UFO (1970) had several first-name Danzas: Ed Bishop played Ed Straker, Gabrielle Drake (nicknamed "Gay" by her agent) played Gay Ellis, Keith Alexander played Keith Ford and Peter Gordeno played Peter Carlin. Also, "The Psychobombs" featured a last-name Danza, Lt. Blythe played by Peter Blythe. There's also a borderline case with Ayshea Broughs, whose character is never referred to by name, and is credited only as "SHADO operative", but according to the script is called Ayshea Johnson. | |

Bizarre example: The characters of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 are all first-name Danzas. It had been originally intended for them to be full-name Danzas, carrying on the previous film's gimmick of "No, this is really happening to the actual people you see on film", but the director decided this was "dishonest" and changed their last names — he would have changed their first names too, but too much of the movie had already been filmed. The change was made so late in the day, however, that the new last names only appear in the credits, and we see the actor's last names on-screen briefly in a police report. | |

Hollyoaks: In order to promote Summer Strallen taking over the lead role in The Sound of Music on the West End, its producer Andrew Lloyd Webber had her written into the show as a character called Summer Shaw. The character was then talent spotted by Lloyd Webber appearing as himself on the show. Cameron Moore has twice been a Danza on Hollyoaks: first as the face of "Cameron", a guy India Longford met online (but who turns out to have been a fake profile created by Silas Blissett to lure and murder her), later as the character Cameron Campbell. |

Chuck Campbell plays Chuck the Gate Tech on Stargate Atlantis, though this may actually have been a mistake. The character was without a name for quite a while, and it's rumored that another actor dropped his name into a line. He is, however, later called Chuck again by another character. Notable in that fans had been calling him Chuck the Gate Tech (or, alternately, "Chucknician") for some time previous. | |

The Three Stooges were almost always this in their films. The names were a bit of a change situation but were their main professional ones. The Horowitz boys were Moses ('Moe'), Jerome (nicknamed 'Curly' for his hair after his then-current nickname 'Babe' was taken), and Samuel (their mother's attempts to say it ended up as 'Shemp', and it stuck). Louis Feinberg had already taken the name 'Larry Fine' before joining the act. Joe Besser was the only one who didn't have to change anything at all. Joseph Wardell had used 'Joe DeRita' well before meeting the Stooges. Emil Sitka would've been the only one to make a name out of whole cloth ('Harry'), but the act died (with Moe) before any films could be made. RARE exceptions include Woman Haters (the first short, and part of another lineup of films Columbia was doing; they had character names) and the rare time when they would play actual others (opposite themselves), especially in drag. | |

Akai's opponent Tooru Amuro is named after both, Amuro Ray from Mobile Suit Gundam and his voice actor Tōru Furuya. Furuya eventually voices Tooru Amuro. This name turns out to be a fake, and his real name is Rei Furuya, still named after both, Amuro Ray and Toru Furuya. | |

Bolt provides a variation: the titular dog stars in the Bolt TV show, where he plays (or more accurately, has been convinced he is) a superpowered dog named Bolt. His owner, who's adopted Bolt some time before the show and who plays Penny in the same show, is another variant: while her real name is never spoken by any humans outside the show, the show uses Enforced Method Acting to convince Bolt everything in the show is real, so her real name is probably also Penny. | |

Two of Station 51's firefighters in Emergency!, Marco Lopez and Mike Stoker, simply used the actor's name. Stoker, the driver of Engine 51, actually was an LA County firefighter at the time of filming (he retired in 1996), because the fire department wanted the engine on the show to be operated by a certified driver rather than risk an actor damaging it. They thought Marco's name just sounded like a firefighter's. | |

Legends of Tomorrow: Almost a case with Hawkgirl. Her real name is "Chay-Ara" (pronounced somewhere between "Shay-arra" and "Shee-arra"), and her actress has the similar first name "Ciara" (pronounced "See-arra"). Since Chay-Ara is a character from the comics, this is entirely a coincidence, presuming Ciara Renée wasn't hired for her name. Ramona Young plays Mona Wu, an original character presumably named after her actress. |

In the dub of Pokémon 3, Lisa Ortiz voices Lisa (Rin in the Japanese version). Could possibly have been named after her. Since TPCi took over the dubbing rights in season 9, James is voiced by James Carter Cathcart. In Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions, Shoko Nakagawa voices a character named Proof. The Japanese word for proof is "shouko" (written with different kanji than Nakagawa's first name). According to Nakagawa's book, this was intentional. Half this trope and half-Tuckerization, the Johto episode "Power Play!" (EP171) features a brief battle between Gary Oak and a Trainer from Cherrygrove City named Noboru. In the English dub, his voice is provided by one Alex Davis, the winner of a British competition at the time, and the character's dub name is shared with his VA. It took nineteen seasons for the Latin-Spanish dub to get a Danza, with character of the day Emilio being voiced by Emilio Treviño. |

Babylon 5 Done retroactively with the Centauri Emperor (played by Turhan Bey) and Prime Minister (played by Malachi Throne). When they appeared in the episode "The Coming of Shadows", they were not named and only credited as "Emperor" and "Prime Minister". Later episodes called them "Emperor Turhan" and "Prime Minister Malachi". In the episode "Learning Curve", Turhan Bey played a Minbari Ranger instructor named Turval, alongside another named Durhan played by Brian McDermott, both of whose names sound like variations on "Turhan". |

The short-lived yet wildly popular Broadway musical [title of show]. In fact, the show takes it up a notch with it being "a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical" (guess how many guys wrote this musical?) and the song "I Am Playing Me." | |

Full Metal Panic! has a version that crosses with Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: The original light novels note that the AI in Kurz's Arm Slave is named "Yukari" and based on a Japanese idol, complete with its voice being based on samples of said idol. When the AI "appears" in The Second Raid, it's voiced by Yukari Tamura, implying that she was Kurz's inspiration. | |

In The Muppets Robin Hood, Janice/Willa Scarlet thinks the narrator is a voice in her head which she calls Jerry. The intent is presumably that he's this setting's version of the announcer from The Muppet Show, voiced by the late Jerry Nelson. | |

Night Court: Harry Anderson as Harry Stone is a subversion. According to series creator Reinhold Weege, the character was already called Harry, already a magician, and already a devoted Mel Tormé fan before Anderson was cast. Selma Diamond as Bailiff Selma Hacker and her replacement Bailiff Florence Kleiner played by Florence Halop. Charles Robinson shares the same last name as his character Mac Robinson. One could also argue Yakov Smirnoff as Yakov Korplenko. |
