What's in a name.

If you're a classic movie fan or loved early TV, then you've seen this actor many, many times. But I'll bet you don't know his name. He was tall, handsome, blond and a very dependable second fiddle. Sadly he was never a leading man. He did come close as Katherine Hepburn's fiance in Pat and Mike, but even in that he lost her to Spencer Tracy. Actually the most interesting thing about this actor was his name. It seemed so wrong for him. I wonder if that didn't affect his success in the movies—always playing the supporting role despite his good looks. He should have had a strong Anglo-Saxon name or at least something very American like Scott or Trent, but alas his name was, are you ready? William Ching.
