Best actor name owned by a mediocre actor

[Bucky]

I'm going with Dack Rambo. What an awesome name. Yet, can you name even one show he was in?

"Love Boat" doesn't count.

[KamaAina]

1. Clearly, Keanu Reeves

assuming he even qualifies as mediocre.

He is partially of Hawaiian ancestry; in Hawaiian, "Keanu" means "the cold", and Reeves grew up in Toronto. Oh yes, it is properly pronounced "kay-AH-noo", not "key-AAH-noo" as most people do.

3. Naturally it would be Robert Z'Dar.

7. I remember Dack.

When I was a kid, I used to love him in "Sword of Justice." It was totally hammy, of course, but I thought he was so cool.

I just looked him up on IMDB and saw he died of AIDs back in the 90s. That's made me surprisingly sad. He wasn't a great actor, but I've always had a soft spot for him.

I also saw his real first name was "Norman."

[IndianaJones]

8. George Clooney. nt.

13. George C. Looney (eom)
