Round 1 - Matches 73-76
Edward G. Robinson - Although it has been said that he chose his stage name after an actor he had seen and admired, later he said he was just trying to keep his birth initials. He was unsure as to why he had settled on Robinson but would have chosen a shorter name if allowed to do it again, as it takes a long time to write "Robinson" in an autograph. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000064/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
