American actor Zachary Levi was born Zachary Levi Pugh, and dropped his last name for his stage name, using his middle name instead, as he thought "Pugh" is too unusual-sounding. Sebastian and his sister Florence Pugh, who are not related to Zachary, came to fame about a decade after Zachary became a well-known actor. Florence retained their birth name, while Sebastian dropped the surname Pugh and, like Zachary, uses his first and middle name as his stage names (though in reverse order).
