Lots Of Actors And Actresses Had To Change Their Name

\\Chloe Bennet was right to call out Hollywood racism but wrong to change her name//
Arwa Mahdawi
\\I don’t blame stars for whitewashing their names to get on – lots of minorities do it in the jobs market. But there is a moral case against this//Arwa Mahdawi
There is already a Chloe Wang, so, no racism then.!
Hollywood only allows one name to be registered, for instance did you know Stuart Grainger was born James Stewart.
The rules
Spotlight is the leading casting directory for the industry. Visit www.spotlight.com and type in the name in the search box on the top right hand side. If an artist comes up that means there's already a Spotlight member with that name and you will be required to choose another. Please note however, if a name does not come up in the search it does not mean a name is immediately available.
Neither Equity nor Spotlight is able to hold or reserve names for future use, or for artists whose subscriptions expire. If your membership subscription runs out then a current or new subscriber may successfully apply to use same name in the meantime.
You should always double-check different spellings and abbreviations of a name, since neither Equity nor Spotlight will accept similar names, even if they are not identical.

for those of use that dont understand.
Chloe Wang had to change her name to work in Hollywood, she screams racism, when in fact if an actor actress has that name registered you cannot use it.

^ Chloe Wang had to change her name because there was already another Chloe Wang registered with Spotlight / Equity NOT due to racism. Only one actress / actor/ performer of each name is able to be registered to avoid confusion . So the only reason she had to change her stage name was that someone else was already using it!
