What's In A Name?

Noi is watching her current Tuesday night favourite serial - a Malay drama - which features an actor who goes by the cheerfully improbable name, Danny X-Factor. (I assume the 'F' is a capital.)

This almost, but not quite, beats my favourite daft name for a thespian, the legendarily monosyllabic Rip Torn. Mr Torn, of course, happens to be a genuinely talented actor. I have yet to identify the x-factor in Danny's performance.

This might trigger a sympathetic nostalgia. Heh.

"Book 'im, Danno – murder one!"
