If I had to guess, I'd say the name has something to do with Tony Danza

Is it the same thing if the character already has a first name but is given the actor's last name?
Several dubbing actors not from the country of origin are mentioned. Shouldn't they be removed except when the name of the character has been changed in the dubbed version? Also, actors named like pre-existing characters.

What about Sharon Stone in the first Flintstones Film, being played by Halle Berry? Worth mentioning?

I don't think so. That's more an example of a Shout-Out.
Edit: Oh, I didn't realize this question was almost a year old. Well, if you're still paying attention to this topic, there's your answer.

Sorry, what? Why is this here?
The article says it doesn't count if the character already had that name before the actor was chosen, but there are quite a few of those listed in the examples anyway. Should they be culled, or would the inverse case be tropeworthy enough for its own article? (Reverse Danza, or something)
