There’s a Jack Nance character that should make you very proud of your name.
I won’t tell, the FBI won’t like it, I may be in a witness protection program. Shh!!
I’ve got Kevin Flynn from Tron.
Does Kevin from Home Alone count? ������
Let’s see. I’ve got a crossbow wielding redneck, two mute brothers, and Thor’s Australian buddy.
Not a great track record.
Daper Dan?
Marty McFly, of course. Or Marty Riggs.
I was mentioned in a Beyonce song.
Is Michael Meyers the lead character of the Halloween movies?
Some folks at work tried to tie me with the name of a significant character from Forrest Gump – curiously, the boss in our department was named Forrest, but no one ever tried to tease that surly man so.
It’s not my first name, but my last name. And it’s the main “villain” of Birth of a Nation (the pro-KKK one). So I got referred to as “Evil Senator Stoneman” after we had to watch it in high school.
My nephew’s name actually matches a movie main character’s name; don’t think he’s too impressed with having a namesake, though.
One of my favorite movies: Paul
I have a namesake character noted for his absence in a famous stoner comedy bit. And a Kevin Kline movie too.
I’ve only watched a few “Murder She Wrote” but I always felt proud that the lead was Jessica Fletcher.
In most situations I go by JJ but I rarely consider the fact that I share a name with JJ Evans. It’s like boy JJ and girl JJ are two different names 
I recommend the movie but I will point out that Michele is a supporting character in it.
There’s a character named after me in a Harry Turtledove book. I don’t mean a character with my name; I mean one specifically named after me.
I used to be a regular member on a SF forum on AOL and several authors, including Turtledove, were also members. When he was writing his World War series, he used the names of several people, including me, for the aliens. He just reversed the spelling of our names to make them sound alien.
My namesake was not, however, a leading character. “I” only appeared in a couple of scenes.
There’s this guy, though he wasn’t the lead. And then there’s this other guy, who was.
I think I’m prouder of the first one.
Well, I guess I have Rick Sanchez from “Rick & Morty.”
Not a leading character, but those of you who are well-versed in Arthurian legend might recall a rather notable enchanter who shares my name.
Nothing much interesting with my first name (though there was a TV show that used it). My last name, however, was the last name of the title character of Max, a fascinating movie. And he gets a great line: “You’re an awfully hard man to like, Hitler, but I’m gonna try.”
The only Nate in movie I can think of off the top of my head is in Deathproof, and he’s a bit of a douche.
