Names

I would assume that this was done to prevent the names of the actors under wraps, so that way when shooting was going on, if the call sheets were "leaked", fans wouldn't be tipped off as to who was on locations.

Yeah, that's kinda logical. Good thing though they weren't working for some intelligence service. I mean, c'mon, Keith Fletcher? If everybody could already read on IMDB that Heath Ledger would be starring in BBM?

Good point, Chrissie


Maybe they just do it for laughs?

     My understanding has always been, that many, maybe even most stars, use pseudonyms when checking into hotels etc.  That is to
keep away unwanted calls and callers.   Can you imagine how much sleep they would ever get, if they used their real names.?   Michelle
was not that well known then, so probably didnt need a different name.l
