Characters who have the same initials as the actors who portray them

Partly inspired by this thread, and partly inspired by the fact that I watched every episode and rerun of Quantum Lea when it first aired and I’ve been watching the reruns on ION-TV, and yesterday it hit me that Dr. Sam Becket and actor Scott Bakula have the same initials. Talk about a SonofaBitch moment.

The only other one I can think of who comes close is Back to the Future, where Michael J. Fox played Marty McFly. That is shear and total coincidence, as the film had already started shooting with Eric Stoltz in the ttile role, but he bowed out.

So what other actors can use their own monograms when portraying a chacter?

Excluding his American films, every Jackie Chan movie ever made. His character is always named Jackie Chan, or that’s what the English dubs would have me believe.

You mean like James Caviezel playing Jesus Christ?

James Stewart- Jefferson Smith (Mr Smith Goes to Washington)
Claude Rains- Captain Renault (Casablanca)

And I’ll spoiler the next one in case you haven’t seen The Usual Suspects:

Kevin Spacey- Keyser Soze
