The actor known as Byron Barr, became GIG YOUNG, in real life and reel life as a character in the film, THE GAY SISTERS, 1942.

The actress known as Donna Lee Hickey, became MAY WYNN, in real life and reel life as a character in the film, THE CAINE MUTINY, 1954.

Eleanor Holm played Eleanor Reed in "Tarzan's Revenge" (done on purpose because of her swimming fame, even though she is basically playing Jane).

In "Abbott And Costello Meet The Invisible Man" Bud Abbott and Lou Costello play "Bud Alexander" and "Lou Francis". This was a case of them using their middle names for their last names.

The only one I can think of is Justice Ellis McQueen Jr. who played a character named L.Q. Jones in Battle Cry and decided to keep the name.
