Excatly, I don't think Derek Thompson suited him that well... so I guess that's why the changed his name.It's not unusual for the writers to do sudden name changes and jockeying of the story when the character is finally cast. Sometimes the character name really doesn't fit the actor cast and names have to change.
Plus you have to think about the fact you're giving a name to a singre like Diddy.
OMG!!!! :guffaw:Sorry, but I seriously can't imagine her with this name.Think of Emily Procter in her current role and then change Calleigh's name to.....say.....Berta Smith. Doesn't fit the actor, does it?
You couldn't pick up a better example
I have no problems with singers becoming actors or actors becoming singers just because if they're good enough, the outcome can be pretty good.As far as singers becoming actors, well, it didn't hurt Will Smith or Queen Latifa at all and they're both very good. For that matter, Eva LaRue started out as an actor, but, has anyone heard her sing? I have and she's fantastic. Her voice is tailor made for ballads. She played the part of Annette Funicello in the tv movie "The Annette Funicello Story" and they didn't do any voice dubbing.
Nope, no problems here.
As you mentioned Will Smith, right now is one of the best actor and hey he was a rapper till few years ago!
Same thing for Eva (even if I think it's a little bit easier for actors to sing than for a singer to act), she's a very good actress and she can sing very well (I heard lots of her song and she's very talented and her voice is awesome).
So I don't mind Diddy being an actor, even if I don't like him that much (but that's personal stuff). He can always surprise us and be a very good actor in a pretty good episode.
Plus I think that most of the episode outcome depends on TPTB's choices
