Utterly useless things I never knew 'til now #1

Walter Plinge is a pseudonym used in London theatre when a part has not been cast; when an actor is playing two parts; or when an actor does not want his or her real name appearing in the programme. The name was a homage bestowed by actors in bygone times to the landlord of a pub near the Lyceum Theatre.

The US equivalent is George Spelvin. David Agnew is a pseudonym for writers whose real names can't be used on TV while Allen Smithee is used by anonymous Hollywood directors. So there.

More soon ...


My bible of useless facts!
