Get your own Free Home Page This is what happens when one has too much time on their hands! ;-) I got bored and decided to look up the names of all the characters and actors (or at least the major ones!) and find out what they meant. It surprised me to find out that some of the names actually seem to fit the characters. I'd love to say the same about all the actors, but I don't know them personally so I couldn't say for sure!
If you can think of a character I missed from any of the shows or if you have a list of characters from another show that you want me to put here with the meanings of both the characters and actors, e-mail them to me!
