Why, oh why, didn’t my parents name me MALACHI THRONE (perhaps the fact that our surname isn’t Throne had something to do with it)? Have you ever heard a better, stronger more mellifluous name than MALACHI THRONE? Say it out loud! Throne is a character actor with many many credits, one of those guys whose faces you recognize, if not his magnificent name. It’s probably a stage name, but who cares. Give me some of your favorite celebrity names – actor, author, singer, artist, whatever, doesn’t matter. Sir Rhosis ---
