Identify the celebrity...

[FunTimes2020]

...from their real name, but no googling allowed!
Shall I start?

Leslie Charles.

John Marshall was on TV for a number of episodes of various programmes, and he also spent a lot of periods of time performing on stage.

Just tell us!

I'm obviously not very good at giving clues!

'Episodes' and 'Periods of time' = Sessions!

Unsurprisingly, there was already a John Marshall in Equity, hence he had to find a different stage name.

Hello I am just returning to my thread after a full on day at work.

@Fabellini, you were correct, it was Billy Ocean! He was on Jonathan Ross recently and seemed so lovely. We were due to go and see him live this month but covid had other ideas

Another: who do you think William Broad is better known as? Let me know if you need clues!

Thank you - there was a documentary about him on tv a few weeks ago that I came across by chance...that’s the only reason I knew!
I know who William Broad is too - but that’s cos I was a fan back in the day

@IntermittentParps

Richard E. Grant. I don't know John Marshall though.

I’m pretty sure he came in merlin and was victor meldrew?

@fabellini I'm impressed! 😊

I wouldn’t be if I were you.....I’m pretty sure I won’t know any others

William Broad is Billy Idol.

Who is Michael Douglas better known as?

Oh, John Marshall = John Sessions! Never knew that. (RIP)

Michael Keaton is a Michael Douglas isn't he?

Who is David McDonald?

David Tennant - total guess.

You are right

Michael Keaton is a Michael Douglas isn't he?

Yes.

Peter Moffat. Should be an easy one.

Peter Davison is Peter Moffat?

Yep!

Thomas Derbyshire. is Thomas Dolby I think.

I was wrong

It was Tommy Cannon.

It was Tommy Cannon.

Well done - 'is' not 'was', though, as he's still with us!!

Stanley Kirk Burrell and Robert Van Winkle - both around and popular at roughly the same time.

Robert Van WInkle is Vanilla Ice
And i would guess Stanley Kirk Burrell is MC Hammer.

Well done - both right!
